Biography

Renné grew up in Nepean, Ontario and has always loved to draw and paint. She now lives in southern Ontario with her husband, their daughter and their dog. She spends her days chasing after her little girl, and the evenings in her home studio. Besides playing with her daughter (and painting of course), some of her favorite pastimes are reading, hiking, camping, gardening and building furniture.
