Carlene McClinton



A native of Houston County, Texas, Carlene McClinton has a Bachelor’s degree and two Masters Degrees. After teaching public school for seven years, she accepted a direct commission in the Army Medical Service Corps and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1994.

Carlene has loved art and the creative process since childhood. In spite of two time consuming careers, she kept in touch with her deep love of art and the creative process by frequenting art exhibits, galleries, and museums at every opportunity. On retirement she began a journey that took her from being an avid observer to becoming a dedicated artist. Although primarily self-taught, she has studied at Angelina College and SFA University. In addition, she has learned professional techniques for both Watercolor and Oil painting through workshops and demonstrations given by nationally and internationally known artists such as Tony Couch, Don Andrews, Hilary Page, and Janet Rogers, as well as Texas

artists Johnnie Liliedabl and Goldie Winger. Her paintings are in private collections throughout the United States.

My inspiration: Color, color, color! I know that if I master the use of color, my paintings can make your heart race, put a smile on your face, or bring a tear to your eye. And that’s why I paint.
