Artist Feature - REN ADAMS


A traditional Chinese brush painter, Ren Adams (aka PlasticPumpkin) calls Albuquerque, New Mexico home. Ren works in a variety of mediums: mixed media assemblages, pencil, marker, acrylic, Chinese brush painting, watercolor, oil pastel, pen & ink, and just about any material that isn't nailed down.

Having limited exposure in graphic arts, I found this statement to be particularly insightful, "While some artists shun people who work 'across the board,' I embrace and explore the inherent differences between artistic mediums. Each speaks its own language, offers its own native terrain, and awakens the senses in enjoyable ways." Well said!

To learn more about the artist, visit Ren's Etsy shop (http://plasticpumpkin.etsy.com/). The painting, "Trio of Sea Nettles" featured above can be purchased for $40 USD.
