Sarabeth about Home
Artist

Sarabeth Clevenger works and lives in Abilene, Texas in winter months, and Anacortes, Washington during the summer. Her work is sensitive to the landscape and the light of both the Southwest and the Northwest corners of the United States. She was born in Annapolis, Maryland and educated at Goucher College (BA 1959) and the University of North Texas (MFA 1993). During her long career as a painter and a printmaker, she has shown in both regional and national venues and received many awards. Sarabeth has taught art at the University level since 1993. Her art is in private collections throughout the nation, and a few public collections including The Grace Museum, Abilene, TX and The Old Jail Art Foundation, Albany, TX.

Sarabeth is interested in a variety of media and moves between them freely, often combining media for special effects. Her focus has always been on the long perspective in landscape, seascape, and more recently on the starscapes revealed to us by space telescopes. As a maker of original prints, especially silk screens, she trained herself to see in layers and process, and most of her art reflects the layering of ideas as well. A recent favorite method has been the inclusion of collaged images from space and scientific magazines into acrylic landscape compositions.
