Description
Rene Griffith is a multi-faceted artist who creates museum-quality abstract and semi-abstract paintings. Her collages are created with paint, vintage papers, photographs, maps, and other memorabilia. She skillfully builds many layers of paint and texture and will often include graphite, wax crayon, charcoal, colored pencil, and oil pastels. Interior spaces come alive with her colorful and exciting artwork. Rene is an artist and visual storyteller who creates images that evoke memories and feelings from the beauty she discovers in the world around her. Her mixed-media art is often reminiscent of an earlier era yet is also unmistakably contemporary, intending to create modern art filled with layers of history and texture.
One of the highlights in Griffith's art career was having 52 original paintings featured in an exhibition titled Abstraction: Retrospective Memories at the Foosaner Art Museum in Melbourne, FL from March 20 through June 19, 2021. She has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions and in galleries in California, South Carolina, and Florida. She has been featured in numerous local magazine and newspapers including the San Francisco Chronicle and Florida Today. Griffith’s paintings and photographs are included in many private and corporate collections such as ABC's Scandal TV series and Marshall Field’s Corporate collection in Chicago. Her work is represented by Koman Fine Art in Vero Beach, FL, Plum Gallery in St. Augustine, FL, and Grove Gallery & Interiors in Coconut Grove/Miami, FL.
Griffith currently works in her home studio in Indialantic and states this about her work: “My hope is that my paintings capture the essence of the places I have ventured, tell my personal stories, share my memories, and convey my thoughts and feelings on canvas. If a painting resonates with you, brings back memories, puts a smile on your face, or brings you joy, I have accomplished my goal.” She welcomes locals and visitors to contact her directly by phone or text at 321.676.1956 for a studio visit.
