Susie Reneau

I bought a bunch of signed silkscreen prints from the estate of a woman named Susie Reneau. Very colorful and whimsical with heartfelt messages.

She has not passed but my understanding is that she is now in a home near San Diego. 

She was a longtime working artist in San Diego. 

I don't have a lot of biographical information but what I do know is quite interesting to me.

She was Sister Corita Kent's apprentice at Immaculate Heart as a student from 1964 to 1968 and in the summer.

She produced a calendar for the Corita Kent foundation and did her own calendar every year. 

She herself was a nun but ended up leaving the order and marrying an ex priest, according to the daughter of a woman she lived with when she got older.

Her work is like Corita's but different.

I am going to try to arrange a meeting to interview her but there are a couple interviews or websites that mention her online like here and here.

I like the work, I have only photographed a fraction of it. 

I understand there is a lot more out there. 

Most of them are original signed in ink.

I think it will appeal to a younger art enthusiast that likes graphic works and saturated color.

I am going to try to photograph everything and put it up on my gallery website.  Will frame some of these up. Hopefully can see enough to make my money back. If you have more information about her, please let me know.

Hope that you enjoy it.
