“Nature is not a place we go visit but a home we return to. I am the happiest when I am out exploring the world.”

Renata is an artist, architect and mentor. Her multi-disciplinary background is inspired by her love for nature and her interest in the built environment. Her paintings are colorful and bold, with a focus on compositions that present unique points of view. Through immersing herself in hikes and travels she is continually engaging with the landscape and translating her experiences into her canvases. She has a special place in her heart for trees and color practice.

“My latest paintings are inspired by my hikes and camping trips through the California mountains, beaches and nature reserves. I work primarily with acrylic on canvas or paper. My goal is to continually engage with the landscape around me and translate my experiences onto the canvas. I find joy, reflection, and gratitude through this process and my ultimate hope is to inspire others to venture into their own natural surroundings, forging a connection with their environment and fostering a commitment to preserve the natural world in which they live and work.”
