Saline artist receives Lifetime Achievement Award
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a lifetime of art is worth at least one award. That’s what one well-known Saline artist received recently for his lifetime of work in the local arts scene.
Yes Virginia, even artists live in Saline. The small town is recognizing one of its own, Wayne Clements, with a lifetime achievement award for his work as an artist, gardener, cook, history buff and preservationist.
