Meet Renea Menzies
Renea Menzies is celebrated for her vibrant sculptural floral paintings working exclusively with oils and a pallet knife. She layers rich jewel toned colors to create jewel tone sculptural flower petals and leaves on a separate surface before delicately transferring them onto the painting, creating a striking three dimensional effect. Once the paint is partially dry she applies a final glaze that enhances the buttery texture and luminous quality of each piece. Her intention is not to replicate nature, but to vibrantly portray the distinctive form and movement of each pedal and leaf to reflect both the light and shadows of each individual floret. A former international model who walked the runways around the world, Renea eventually returned to the United States to pursue her true passion for art. Now based in between Aspen, Colorado and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Painting is a complete release for her free spirited approach and is reflected in the vibrant explosion of color and texture in her work.
Renea is an important figure in the Reflection Movement guided by its founder and her mentor J.D. Miller. Her sculpted oil flowers have gained recognition from galleries, collectors and art enthusiasts across the country. Renea's work has been featured in prominent exhibitions and publications, including Art Quarterly, Modern Luxury, American Art Collector, and Hollywood Magazine. Her cover and artist profile on Art Business News created a splash in the industry. Through her art she strives to evoke deep emotion in viewers, believing as Maya Angelo said “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget the way you made them feel”.
