Renée Switkes

CONTEMPORARY BOTANICAL ARTIST

Renée's journey into floral painting began as a tribute to Phyllis Semple, whose love for flowers deeply influenced her. Phyllis' encouragement and the inspiration drawn from Georgia O'Keeffe's independent spirit further fueled the the artist's passion.
