Heather Renne

Artist Bio

For as long as she can remember, artist Heather Renne has been obsessed with all things antiquated. She has produced works in mediums as diverse as photography, found objects, collage, acrylic, and oil, all while maintaining a vintage thread. Her current obsession is capturing the ethereal nature of those she portrays using a layered pentimento technique in a dark nouveau style that’s also heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites.

Heather typically works on a small scale in a tiny studio within her cozy one-hundred-year-old farmhouse just blocks outside of Minneapolis. She surrounds herself with venerable relics that provide constant inspiration, as do the books and music that she devours voraciously.
