Renee Boutwell
Adjuct Instructor of Art
rmboutwell@yhc.edu
Renée M. Boutwell (née Traipoom) was born in Birmingham, Alabama to a Thai father and an American mother. She has spent the majority of her life moving throughout the southeastern United States and currently lives in Murphy, North Carolina with her husband and two sons. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Dakota. Her work is richly colored and abstract. She finds her inspiration in the dynamics of language and psychology, taking the symbiotic power of each as the touchstone for highly textured images that explore both the physical qualities of paint and the emotive potential of mark-making. |
