Renee Coombs Bio

FAVORITE MEDIA: Acrylics, Watercolor, Chalk, Crayon, Found Objects

STYLE: I use subject matter the way a jazz artist uses a tune; not to render, but to explore

EVOLUTION AS AN ARTIST: Creativity was a means of survival on the farm where I grew up.

We had to make the most of anything we had. Before I had art materials, I used to dig clay out of the creek and make things.

In high school, I couldn’t stay out of the art room and I would paint on anything – paper or canvas, if I had it.

If not, walls, doors, floors, odd pieces of furniture, drapes. In the beginning, I tried to paint the image I had in my head.

When I found the painting veering off in unexpected directions, I would worry, ‘What would people think of it?’

Over time I learned that the image I start out with in my head can only be a jumping off point.

To get lost in the painting – to let it create itself through me – that brings it to life.”
