About


I seek to capture the subtle details in my paintings and illustrations – like the delicate weave of a bird’s nest or the tired expression of a wombat – things that might otherwise go unnoticed.  My primary sources of inspiration are birds and animals that are in the Australian environment and wherever possible, I utilize eco-friendly practices in my studio. If you look closely you will also find many North American species on my website — I have been living in Brisbane for three years now but am still drawn to my little chickadees and great horned owls.

For the past two years I have been focusing my studio time on scratchboard (top), although I still find time for painting with acrylic mixed media (above) and watercolors (below) when I need some color.

During 2011, I will be participating in several art markets and exhibits, as well as teaching workshops on demand.   Read more about upcoming events and see works in progress at news. For more information about my artwork, exhibits or workshops, please contact me at Renee[remove].Treml@gmail.com.
