Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Renée has a BFA from the University of Toronto and currently lives and creates in Prince Edward Island. After years of working to find her voice as an artist, Renée has developed a style that is uniquely hers. The stories told in each painting are inspired by Renée’s past and present day experiences intermingled with nature and local PEI landscapes. Underlying all of her work is an intense interest in mystical interconnection of the physical and non-physical realms.

SHORT 

My work grows from a lifelong relationship with the land, the unseen world, and the ancestral memories that move through me. Some viewers recognize resonances with Indigenous art; I understand this as the vibration of ceremony itself — a language of reverence shared by many traditions. I paint from my own lineage and lived experience, always with respect for the First Peoples whose teachings and presence continue to shape this territory. My intention is to honour, not to claim; to remember, not to reproduce; to help reweave what has been divided through beauty, story, and care.

LONG

My art is ceremonial — rooted in reverence for the land, guided by Gaia’s messengers, and shaped through dialogue with ancestors and other aethereal energies. Each piece unfolds as a conversation between seen and unseen worlds, where opposites merge and mirror one another in sacred balance.

​

My ancestry flows through historical French and Indigenous lines, carried by my ancestral grandmothers across generations to the community my parents helped nurture. I honor these intertwined lineages as twin currents — distinct yet deeply connected — both shaping the way I experience and express the sacred.

​

While my work is sometimes described as “Indigenous” in style, I believe what people sense is the ceremonial nature of my process: the devotion, the dialogue with Spirit, and the way story becomes offering. My visual language draws as well from Romanesque illuminated texts, Art Nouveau, ancient glyphs and symbology, and my years in animation — each a reflection of how light and shadow, past and present, seen and unseen, dance together through form.

 

Beyond painting, I serve as a lightworker and energy conduit — grounding, balancing, and helping others bridge their human and higher selves. My paintings often act as records of these ceremonies and mystical exchanges — portals of remembrance and gratitude for Mother Earth, and for the cosmic harmony that lives in all opposites made one.
