Renee Lippa

Renee is a Canadian mixed media realism artist painting out of her studio in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

At a very early age, Renee began to take a strong interest in sketching and drawing often sitting with her mother while she would often do oil paintings. She initially started with drawing but after proving to have a natural talent and a sharp eye for detail, quickly advanced to paintings in watercolor and acrylic. In a short time, Renee started entering in numerous competitions receiving various top awards.

Since then, Renee has been recognized in various local art competitions across North America receiving multiple awards for her work.
