Life of Art

Tina-Renae is an Australian artist, based in the French Alps since 2017, whose paintings have been exhibited in Australia since 1994.
Her whimsical and colourful creations explore the magical worlds of the subconscious and beyond. The result of many years of research in metaphysics, earth and health sciences, Tina-renae’s recent works dive deeper into the subject of intuition, energy and dimensions, to learn more about the subconscious-conscious connection and the structure of serendipity.
Versatile in various mediums and styles, especially acrylic painting, Tina-Renae is also an aspiring writer and handcrafts eco-friendly gifts from recycled materials.

Whilst studying the Tasmanian Diploma of Art, Craft and Design in 2002, she also began working in community arts and social work and became known as a muralist. Whilst still an arts student, Tina-Renae served on the Tasmanian Arts and Youth Grant Council and worked for Australian Regional Arts. She was nominated for various awards and ran semi-finalist for the Tasmanian Community Award. Since then she has collaborated with the health and art sectors, held numerous workshops, tutored, exhibited all over the east coast of Australia. With a history of initiating projects, Tina-Renae has ignited and facilitated many community projects in the arts, health and youth sectors on Australia’s east coast.

Over the years, Tina-Renae has been a mentor and coach to many creative souls, encouraging and inspiring artists locally and around the world, teaching the workings of intuition, philosophies, technical skills and the language of the subconscious mind to show the pathways to intuition and creativity in art and life.
