"There is a movement in this painting that captivates the eyes.

The more I look at it the more I love it."

— Renée Niquette

When I was a little girl, I loved crawling through meadows and fields of wildflowers. Lying in the sun, twisting flowers into necklaces, and breathing in their freshness soothed me. Painting flowers takes me back there today.

I want my art to be more about that emotion than just decoration. I paint mostly expressive florals — not to replicate nature, but to evoke its emotional energy through loose brushwork, bold color, and a sense of light in motion, so that you can feel the flowers’ personality. By infusing my own joy of nature into my paintings, I hope to create art that offers a quiet space to pause and reconnect. If you are seeking presence, meaning, and beauty that you can feel, you might be drawn to my work. My pieces aren’t just to match your room — they become mirrors of inner growth, and remind you that you deserve to live with joy and intention.

I'm very influenced by the impressionist and post-impressionist painters, like Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet, as well as modern plein air painters. While I appreciate the talent of all artists, for me there is nothing more fascinating than seeing a scene, person, or setting change and transform through the eyes of the artist. I love being able to recognize what they were painting and to be able to see their translation or impression of what was there -- regardless of what they were actually looking at. 

I offer original paintings in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, and a limited selection of fine art prints. Please contact me for pricing and availability -- or with any questions. I'd love to chat!
