Artist's Biography
Angie Renfro’s evocative paintings capture the simple beauty of everyday objects and landscapes. Tempered with just the slightest hint of whimsy, Renfro takes the ordinary and portrays it as extraordinary. A lone telephone pole becomes an intriguing subject. A weed-filled field on the side of the road is transformed into a captivating landscape
.
“My intent is draw attention to these overlooked things so that their quiet, unassuming beauty can be appreciated,” she says.
With her wonderful and delightfully uncomplicated treatment of color, light, and texture, it’s no wonder that a transport trailer full of ripe tomatoes becomes a fascinating subject or that a blank Texas landscape punctuated by an electrical transformer is instantly absorbing.
A native Texan, Renfro attended art school in San Francisco. After receiving a BFA in 2002, she remained in the city to pursue a variety of artistic avenues. The experience she gained from working in various fields of design have had a tremendous influence on her work. Renfro's paintings have had great success and the artist was named "Artist to Watch" by Southwest Magazine in October 2006.
