Stephen McClymont is a painter and professor of fine arts. After earning an MFA from the National Art School in Sydney, Australia, he moved to New York to study at the New York Studio School under the mentorship of Robert Motherwell. He later served as Joan Mitchell’s assistant in both New York and France. Since 1977, McClymont has been actively involved in art education, teaching at institutions such as the National Art School in Sydney, Parsons the New School Paris, University of Colorado at Boulder, and currently serving as a senior professor at Paris College of Art.

McClymont’s art is characterized by bold colors applied with rigor and determination, translating "a brush stroke into a kind of rebus that tells of his response to what he calls the rhythms of nature," blending abstraction and representation. His paintings are expansive panoramas where lines, markings, colors, and forms create landscapes that engage viewers' eyes. Over the years, his artworks collectively express the natural freedom of creative spontaneity and celebrate life. Art historian Dore Ashton has praised McClymont’s paintings as “pivotal expressions in the domain of painting.”

McClymont's artworks have represented Australia on three occasions, marking the openings of Australian Embassies in Washington D.C., Berlin, and Paris. He has exhibited extensively, with over one hundred exhibitions of his artworks, both solo and group, held in Sydney, Brisbane, New York, Greenwich CT, Chicago, Paris, Athens, London, and Berlin.
