Rising Above
PANAMA CITY - Tucked away in her office on the second floor of the Gallery Above art gallery on Harrison Avenue, Heather Clements is hard at work brainstorming for new promotions for her gallery.
"It takes up most of my time," said Clements. "Promotion is definitely one of the harder aspects of the job."
It is also a job she would not have foreseen herself having a chance at one year ago. A native of Virginia, Clements was a lifelong art lover.
"I have been creating art for as long as I can remember," said Clements.
Her love of art was nurtured by her musician father and accountant mother. Her father, who also dabbled in art, would give advice and some instruction when the young Clements was first discovering her artistic talents.
