RENEESHA is a self-taught artist who began her artistic practice in 2019, living and working in North Carolina. Working primarily in acrylics and oil pastels, she often explores of various mediums like colored pencil, ink, and paint markers.
A principle theme in Reneesha’s work is her celebration of the consequence of life and nature. Primarily in relation to the female body, her work is uniquely abstract. She uses her personal experience to highlight the internal and external effects of childbirth. Particularly the physical changes that occur from breastfeeding.
Reneesha’s artistic process involves studying the anatomy of the female form and challenging herself to present her interpretation in new and conceptual ways.
