About the Artists:
Art for Rena Martinson has always been a passion. It’s pulled at the inner core of who she is. It’s brought her out of dark places, filled the void of boredom, woken her early in the morning excited to put color onto canvas, and kept her up all night in a storm of ideas.
She’s not going to lie when Rena says she’s been disabled with doubt for a lot of my artistic career. There have been low points and towels thrown in…but then she has an idea and is pulled right back, stronger and more intensely than ever. She may not believe in calling herself an artist, but believes in those heart strings that pull her back…to keep practicing over and over and hoping that at any moment she will feel the spark, the light, the talent. It’s a process…but through that process Rena hopes to create art that conveys a sense of love, togetherness, interconnectedness, nature, beauty, whimsy, quirkyness and humility. She wants the viewer to feel the humanness of each brushstroke, pen line, marker fade and color combination.
Rachel Pierce paints bright, modern original art in oil and acrylic reflecting the natural beauty and abundant wildlife found only in tropical Southwest Florida.
From her abstract beachscapes to her joyful underwater tableaus, Rachel’s colorful coastal creations feature swimming sea creatures – like loggerhead turtles, manatee, jellyfish, sharks, seahorses and octopi; soaring shorebirds and wading flamingos; technicolor palm trees and florals; gators, mollusks, mermaids, and more.
Rachel sells and exhibits her fine art originals at the Rachel Pierce Art Gallery located in Sanibel Island, Florida, as well as on her website, ByRachelPierce.com, along with a variety of collectible prints and notecards.
