Artist Clement Micarelli was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island and studied art at both The Pratt Institute and The Art Student’s League.  Micarelli started his career as a commercial illustrator in 1955 but in 1971, after several years of lucrative success, Micarelli retired from the commercial field.  He and his family left New York for Massachusetts, where Micarelli devoted himself to painting full time.  His widely acclaimed portraits hang in collections around the world.

Below are some Micarelli’s commercial work, as well as two of his best known paintings.
