Figurative painter Debra Clem will offer a visiting artist lecture at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in Kleymeyer Hall in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center at the University of Southern Indiana.

Clem is a professor of fine arts at Indiana University Southeast, where she teaches all levels of painting and art foundations courses. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Pennsylvania State University. She has shown her paintings in more than 60 group, invitational, and solo exhibitions and has been awarded five individual artist grants from the Kentucky Foundation for Women.

She received an Al Smith Fellowship, the highest individual award given to artists from the state of Kentucky, and has been awarded fellowships to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the Vermont Studio Center. She is a member of Indiana University's FACET (Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching), and was the recipient of IU Southeast's Distinguished Research and Creativity Award in 2006.

In December 2010, her large-scale painting, "Incinerate," won the Purchase Award at the 55th Annual Mid-States Art Exhibition and became part of the Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science collection.

Her most recent work combines traditional oil painting techniques with digital imagery and mixed media. She grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and currently lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Her visit to USI is sponsored by the USI Society for Arts and Humanities and the USI Art Department.

For more information, contact Kathryn Waters, professor of art, at 812/464-1933.
