About Renee Nemerov
The great American landscape is the inspiration for Renee Nemerov's paintings—the rich green West Virginia mountains with its waterfalls, the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan, the Southwest's brilliant blue skies and rugged rock formations, the lush California coastline and breathtaking Pacific ocean views, the winding Rio Grande—interpreted with vivid, exploding color and her own original styles in abstract or expressionist form.
Primarily an abstract and impressionist landscape painter, but also a skilled sculptor and portrait painter, Renee is noted for her use of imaginative concepts, intense, rich variegated colors and fluid lines used to convey the emotional essence of a subject.
She is the daughter of businessman turned artist David Nemerov, famous for his huge, wall-sized, floral oil paintings, the sister of controversial, avant garde photographer Diane Arbus, and of Howard Nemerov, one of the first Poet Laureates of the United States. She had the opportunity to study and learn from such great artists as the reknowned Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo, San Francisco expressionist Robert Friemark, Jean Liberte at the Art Students League, Camillo Egas at the New School, both in New York City, and the Swiss Impressionist, Hanseggar.
