Renee Staeck is a mixed-media artist and illustrator based in Portland, Oregon. She received a BFA in Fine Art/Drawing from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (Milwaukee, WI) in 2003, and has been a working artist ever since. Renee's illustrative work varies from art nouveau and Persian miniature-inspired ink and watercolor vignettes to abstract landscapes. Her collage work is about material, process, and problem-solving, resulting in sculptural abstract forms made from paper palettes and scrapped drawings. Renee draws most of her influence from the ìhiddenî beauty, mystery, and humor that underlies everyday life. She loves images that make you look twice, leaving you with more questions than answers.
Renee joined Grand Image in 2016.
