the many moods, colours and wonderful
places this island has to offer.
"I am a naturalist
with a great passion for nature and this It is what makes life
interesting for me. I enjoy the beauty of the natural world around me
and try to absorb as much detail as possible, from the largest trees
and mountains to the smallest leaves, petals and insects. Each piece I
paint inspires me in a different way. I try to give importance to
everything in my paintings and sometimes look for a story within
the subjects from which I paint. I love the challenge of bringing it to
life in front of me.
I hope my paintings tell their story to viewers"
In 2009 Renee's work and life was featured on CBC television's Land & Sea program. Her paintings have been sold across Canada and are in many private collections.
