Experience
Visual Artist, Owner at Joann Renner Fine Art
Jan 1990 — Present · Pittsburgh, PA, US
My artist portfolio is best seen on my primary website other portfolio website Saatchi Art.com, https://linktr.ee/joannrennervisualartist Member Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League. Resume available upon request.Expressionist/Surrealist oils, pastels, acrylics of urban scenes mostly of Pittsburgh, examining how buildings and structures tell the stories of their neighborhoods and the people who make them unique, helping viewers connect with these structures as visual witnesses. Without that connection, neighborhoods become cold, stale, boring. Architectural exteriors and interiors are often overlooked in our daily routines, but they hold the memories and experiences of everyone who connects with them. Surrealist/Expressionist images dealing with women\'s issues, spirituality, folklore and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, mostly from the point-of-view of the sufferer. The examination of feelings of possibilities & uncertainties as one goes through life can be an awareness of the intangible, or simply a sense of being and experience. These experiences can be intensely profound, sometimes spiritual, and can have either fleeting or lasting effects which are often unseen or misunderstood by others.The goal is to bridge that gap between conscious and unconscious awareness. A few important influences include Kathe Kollwitz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Japanese culture.
