About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Renée is a vibrant artist, published author, and guide for healing through creativity. After surviving a prolonged withdrawal from psychiatric medication, she rediscovered herself through art—using painting and mixed media to give voice to emotional and inner landscapes.
Since 2017, Renée has facilitated both in-person and online art classes, exploring watercolor, acrylics, collage, character painting, and intuitive mixed-media work. She is the author of PSYCHiATRIZED: Waking Up After a Decade of Bad Medicine and also teaches memoir writing. A Certified Peer Recovery Advocate (CRPA) and Certified Addiction Recovery Coach (CARC), Renée brings decades of teaching experience and a deeply compassionate, lived understanding of healing—inviting others into honest expression, creativity, and reconnection through art
