Mental Escape

Studies show that just looking at pleasant images can provide a type of mental escape for individuals during times of moderate stress

Sandra Sgoutas-Emch, Psychological Sciences Professor, University of San Diego

Take a woodland walk, stroll along the beach, gaze at a beautiful flower, marvel at nature - quiet, calm, peaceful. An escape from the craziness and busyness of our everyday lives. Or just find joy in the textures and colors of art.

Meet the Artist

Visual contemporary artist, color, nature, serenity

Hello! I'm Jo Reneé, a contemporary visual artist based in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. My creative journey is deeply inspired by the wonders of nature and the little things that bring my joy. For me, nature is more than just a backdrop; it's a sanctuary where I find tranquility and renewal. I believe there's so much beauty and wisdom to be gleaned from the outdoors, and my mission is to capture a small slice of that serenity for you to enjoy in your own special space.

Color is my passion! I primarily work with acrylics and mixed media, allowing me to create vibrant landscapes, seascapes, and whimsical pieces that simply make you smile. Each artwork is an invitation to experience a bit of joy and wonder, transforming your interior into a reflection of the colorful beauty found in the world around us. Let's bring a touch of nature and fun indoors together!
