Renee Theobald

Through the years, Renée Théobald has developed a style which is uniquely personal. Her paintings reveal the confidence of stroke that only years of patient evolution, from hard work and study, can produce. Although the paintings are masterfully constructed, they are void of rigidity. The spontaneity with which she paints and her rich and varied palette, produce not only the image of the subject but its very essence. Renée’s joy of living, balanced with a deep inner serenity has become an intricate part of each canvas. She is extremely well traveled which adds to her vast array of subjects. The viewer is always acutely aware of her sensitivity to her surroundings and her ability to express her insights. Her art is a true reflection of the woman herself.
