"Blue Flower" Artwork

In a landscape saturated by Ai, Renette 'Ren' Wilson remains firm. An Arkansas native now based in Puerto Rico, she leverages her signature ‘SplashArt fluid art painting' technique to prove that the most mesmerizing digital abstracts still require the chaos of real paint and the intuitive hand of a master artist. A former fine arts educator, Wilson’s multidisciplinary practice is a dialogue between the tactile heritage of traditional fine art and the limitless potential of 21st-century digital collage. Her body of work stands as a diverse collection of mixed-media art, seamlessly blending her technique with the precision of new-media technology.​

     Armed with practice and lifetime skill, Ren Wilson's mediums combine paintings, digital art, and photography to create layered narratives for the final professional giclée print. Her portfolio extends beyond her signature SplashArt fluid art painting series, to include a variety of styles and subjects that explore the intersection of human experience and the natural world thus creating one-of-kind works. 

     In her early years, Ren Wilson focused on representational works before a transformative shift toward Abstract Expressionism (AbEx) evolved from her signature 'SplashArt fluid art painting' technique—a self-coined process capturing the kinetic moment paint and water collide. These gestural abstract compositions are preserved as high-resolution archival giclée prints, allowing for a deep investigation into natural surroundings and human identity through a lens of motion and abstraction. Archival giclée prints offer Wilson an easier and environmentally sustainable way to ship art. 
Wilson’s work is deeply reminiscent of the cultural resonances and color palettes she encountered from her international travels. Based in Puerto Rico, her work has been featured in San Juan exhibitions with the EEAG Collective, including Puerto Rico Seasons (2024) and Caribbean Vibes (2025), where she was awarded 'Best to Represent Theme,' for her piece 'They Sing From Afar.' A featured artist on Saatchi Art, Wilson’s work continues to bridge the gap between traditional fluid media, digital art and modern digital documentation. Ren Wilson received her BA in Studio Art at Arkansas State University in 1999, and her MA in education at University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2018.
