Fine & Funky Art by Ren Adams

I'm a professional artist and freelance writer living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I work in a variety of artistic mediums because I find that each material and technique speaks to the viewer in a unique way. Sometimes one method is better at expressing that inescapable inner flash than another. While I do focus on Chinese brush painting, mixed media, and oil pastel works--it's not uncommon for me to work in 3D, acrylic, clay, wax, marker, and even oils.

My work generally takes on two flavors, with two distinct personalities. Meditative, fluid, and quietly structured—and gritty, raw, loose, and fantastical. I see these two sides as the perfect balance to one body of work. One style cannot exist without its playful other half.

 
You can purchase my work through my retail websites (listed below), or in person at a local New Mexico art show or convention. I also do custom orders (just ask) and my blog lists upcoming shows, events, and special projects.

Art is a sensation, a sense of humor, a sense of elation, a tantalizing window... it's pure energy, pure thought, pure darkness, and pure light. I support fellow artists and the artistic community whenever I can. :-)
