About June Klement:
June Klement is an Augusta-based impressionist oil painter whose work explores light as both structure and subject. Working between plein air study and studio practice, she creates luminous paintings of landscapes, wildlife, and atmospheric city scenes that emphasize mood, movement, and the emotional resonance of place.
Painting outdoors allows her to respond directly to shifting light and atmosphere, capturing subtle color relationships and transient effects that inform her larger studio works. Rather than documenting a specific location, her paintings focus on the experience of being present within it — the stillness of open water, the rhythmic movement of birds through light, or the quiet glow that transforms an urban landscape at dusk.
Originally from Knoxville, Tennessee, Klement earned a degree in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University before returning to painting after raising her family. This balance of structure and intuition continues to shape her distinctive visual language.
Her award-winning work has been exhibited nationally, including the Brinton Museum, the Booth Museum, the Telfair Museum, and the Art League of Hilton Head. She is a member of the American Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America, and the Salmagundi Club, and is a Signature Member of the National Association of Women Artists. Her work is held in private collections worldwide.
