Renee Bresten

I am a 2013 MassArt graduate with my BFA in Painting. I currently reside in San Diego, CA where I work as a yoga instructor and freelance fine artist.

My personal work is inspired by my memories. I paint using little reference, relying almost entirely on my minds eye to capture the spaces and people I recall from my past, this process is incredibly important to me personally. I paint graphically, using sharp contrast, embracing the texture and shapes made naturally by my paint brush. When painting interiors I like to use dramatic or deep perspective and lines.

In addition to my practice in oils, I also create illustrative ink drawings. This includes anything from mandalas to portraiture. Read Less
