Asheville Gallery of Art: Judy Rentner

Impressions of Light

Judy loves the light. She is captivated by how light and dark interplay to form patterns and designs that make even the mundane magical. Although primarily a landscape painter, she paints whatever stirs her emotionally, and by presenting the thing created, may in some measure, reveal the Creator Himself.

Graduating with a bachelor of Fine Arts from Ohio University, Judy continued her association with art by first being an interior designer in Washington D.C. and then teaching art in the California school system. Her paintings got a jump start by attending various workshops in Florida and joining the Gold Coast Watercolor Society, exhibiting in their shows. Her work has been juried into various shows including the Watercolor Society of N.C., Biltmore Floral Show, Hart Theater, and other events of the Blue Ridge Watermedia Society where she has served as an officer. Currently, Judy is represented by the Asheville Gallery of Art and Twigs and Leaves in Waynesville.
