Aloha
I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you're rediscovering your creativity, building your portfolio, or looking for a space where your faith and artistic calling can grow together you’ve found a place that honors both.
I’m Renee, and it’s my joy to walk alongside artists like you offering mentorship, encouragement, and practical tools rooted in experience, purpose, and Christ’s love. My heart is to help you create boldly and with intention, for His glory.​ "Stir up the gift of God which is in you…” – 2 Timothy 1:6​ Let’s build something beautiful together.
Artist. Educator. Mentor. Faith-Driven Creative.
I’ve spent over 20 years teaching digital and fine arts at the college level, both online and in person. I currently teach at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and California Baptist University, and serve as an Educational Media Designer at Bakersfield College, where I create learning experiences that merge art, storytelling, and technology.
I hold a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) and am currently a Bible college student pursuing a Doctorate in Theology with a focus on Christian Education. My work bridges the creative and spiritual helping artists grow in both skill and clarity of calling. I’ve also curated art exhibits professionally, including founding a brick-and-mortar gallery in Manhattan Beach, California, which has since evolved into what is now RedART Box, a global online platform and mobile outreach rooted in faith, creativity, and community. My mentorship style is thoughtful, personalized, and deeply rooted in faith. Whether you're seeking artistic growth, portfolio development, or direction in your creative calling, I’m here to help you step into it with excellence, purpose, and aloha.
The Heart Behind RedARTBox Mentorship
When I mentor artists through RedARTBox, I bring the same thoughtful, skill-building, and faith-affirming approach I’ve used for years in my university classrooms. It’s not just about technique it’s about helping you grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose in your creative calling. Here’s what some of my students have shared about their experience learning with me:
