Alexandra Renée is a Puerto Rican female, life long artist, from SC. She earned her BFA in General Fine Arts(2006) and MA in Community Arts(2007) from MICA. Renée has been working in communities for over 13 years.
After having her first daughter in 2010 Alexandra began joining more women's groups. Obsessed with all things woman/mother/pregnancy-related she quickly realized there is much need for education about, and normalization of, our many body types; inside and out. Women's stories are powerful and Renée tells stories best through her art.
Artist Statement
Divino Portals is the name of her most recent community art project:
Divino portal, where sacred power dwells; where life and death, creativity and rest, joy and sorrow ebb and flow.
Whether these paintings make you uncomfortable, or you love them, I encourage you to stick around. (especially if they make you uncomfortable) My hope is that there will be a story accompanying each painting (or at least most). This is an ongoing project where many women will share the stories of their Divino Portal (which has many names). From this, I hope we can share knowledge, begin healing (women and the world), make deeper connections, and realize our power, strength, and resilience.
