How long have you been creating your work? For more than 20 years I've been studying various kinds of art. What inspired you to start creating your work? I was doing paintings and drawings, and married a man who traveled a great deal in his work. I thought I should learn about photography to keep me busy when he was in meetings. What do you love most about the creative process? The freedom it gives me to create whatever I please. What do you like least about the business side or creating and selling? Marketing.

Any memorable places you've traveled to? I've been to 35 countries and enjoyed them all. I like to learn about different cultures and see the museums and countryside. Any favorite places to frequent around Detroit? My favorite place to visit is the DIA. I also live to visit galleries in Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Ferndale. I also enjoy nature and like to spend time at the parks in the summers, such as Kensington. I really enjoy concerts at the music hall and plays at the Fisher. Quotes to live by? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You can see more from Artscapes by Renee at Yellow Door Art Market and online.
