 Growing up on a Kansas farm, René knew as a child that she would be an artist. Her paintings often feature ordinary creatures, like the many illustrations of birds and flowers she painted for The Oregonian newspaper in her 25 years as staff artist. She focuses on concepts or feelings which evolve in extraordinary ways from her imagination. It is this journey — the experimental component of her work — that she finds most rewarding. Beginning with unique textural substrates she applies layers of acrylic texture and marbling along with traditional watercolor paint, to produce playful subjects that come alive. Their story leaves enough ambiguity for you to invent the narrative. René has written about her process on her blog and in “The Art Of Paint Marbling”, published by Walter Foster. She teaches classes at her studio northwest of Portland Oregon and across the country, occasionally leading art retreats in exotic locations around the world. "Art making has taught me to see beauty in the raw and imperfect. Taking time to fully appreciate every element connects me to my world. I paint to elicit a feeling, and the experience of sharing my vision with others is profoundly satisfying." René Eisenbart AWS, NWS, WFWS, NWWS, WSO  www.rene-art.com
