About Me:Hello!
My name is Renata Cavanaugh and I am self taught artist originally from Czech Republic. Currently I live in Massachusetts with my husband and two beautiful children.
Always curious and wanting to learn, I spent much of my childhood in a corner somewhere with a pencil and pad, listening to someone's story, portraying it in my mind, and then into my drawings. I am self taught and developed my technique and style by studying, drawing and painting my own versions of my favorite artist's works and everything around me. My two favorite mediums are acrylics and pencil. The images I create are intentionaly realistic as I strive to capture the true play of color, light and shadow.
I have done and sold many portraits of various people and love to add a Fantasy touch to real photos/models to create magic out of the ordinary.
My paintings are influenced by my love for Ancient Egypt, mythology figures, the amazing beauty of the human body,the many expressions of the human face, and the light and dark sides of life. I have also been inspired by my dad's many talents and the incredible works of BORIS VALLEJO, Julie Bell and Luis Royo.

I can only hope you enjoy my work nearly as much as I enjoy creating it for you!
