Rene
Fletcher
Art
I am inspired by mysteries in nature. From its minuscule elements to its vastness of space. Looking at a flower, I see both the infinitesimal and finite. As a colorist, I became sensitive to my overpowering use of color during my studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. I have won various arts awards and my goal now is to find tranquil harmony in my color palette while writing my first novel.
