About the Artist

I’m Mary Renée! I’m an emerging artist making naturalistic fine art in traditional mediums. I love to make my art about people!

Naturalistic or representational art makes use of models and props to create vibrant paintings and drawings with depth.

I use traditional mediums such as oil paints, charcoal, pastel, and graphite.

As a person myself, I’m always curious to know more about people across time periods and cultures!

Thank you! There is a lot more work to be made, and I hope to share more with you soon, so stay tuned!
