Biography
After a detour of more than forty years, Dr. Clements returned to his passion and innate talent of drawing geometric objects.  At age eighteen he had embarked upon what turned out to be a successful career in engineering. His initial concept of engineering was perceived to consist primarily of ‘drawing objects’.  This perspective was far too limited  and he quickly learned that drawing was only a very small part.  Fortunately, he maintained those much treasured drawing skills in the background during most of his career.  He enjoyed a distinguished career marked by numerous achievements and accolades so when he retired, he looked forward to a life of leisure and relaxation. 
Upon completing his career in engineering, Dr. Clements was jolted by an awesome sense of inspiration and a new sense of direction. Visiting the M. Hanks Gallery in Santa Monica, California initiated this abrupt change. Jean, his wife of 27 years, had managed to get him to attend an art presentation and discussion at the gallery. On tour of the gallery, a drawing by the famed black artist Charles H. Alston drew his attention. Mesmerized by the art, he was motivated to unlock his own creative talents of detailed pencil art.  He began to systematically develop his creations.  The initial creation is shown in frame #1.  Several others then followed after scouring the country for candidate structures for his dilapidated housing drawing series.  This collection along with their intriguing descriptions are now unveiled.
