Renee Catherine Wittmann

"In my professional career, I've designed logos, brochures, business cards, and stage backdrops, pet portraits, 4' x 8' advertisements for baseball fences, floral designs, and private commissioned work. I've spent 20 years in photographic arts–the past 10 years as a small business owner specializing in negative retouching.

I've been...well... what I call "dabbling in artwork" for myself ever since I can remember, probably since I picked up my first crayon. My earliest painting was saved for me from kindergarten–an elephant–that now hangs in my living room.

Artwork–in all its forms–is expression. My creations are the things I do for me. My subjects vary from everyday observations to fantasy–it's whatever I feel at the time–whatever sparks my thoughts, or peaks my interest–or that certain thing I just can't seem to get out of my head in any other way. It all seems to find it's way out–be it a drawing, a watercolor, sometimes an oil piece, lately pastel and wire sculpture...and even in written verse."

They call it a passion–a gift–or something to "share with the world". I've even dubbed it a curse in those moments when nothing goes right, no matter what I do, or how hard I try. Some days it works,other days it doesn't.

With that said, and critics lurking I still feel it's time to share my "dabbling" with you.
