Artist’s Bio/Statement

Renee Whisnant grew up in Morganton, North Carolina and started her art education when her mom, Quteen Whisnant, sent her to study art with Frances Hairfield . After finishing school at Western Piedmont Community College, Frances directed Renee to attend the Fine Arts League of the Carolinas.

“I believe art is not merely a visual documentation of a subject, but an emotional one as well. But, in order for one to express those emotions; one must rigorously study in the same method of those artists which came before them.“
