Doreen Renner is a painter residing in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. She maintains studios in both Mississauga and Longboat Key, Florida, U.S.A. Renner has a Fine Art Diploma from Sheridan College and is an Elected Member of the Ontario Society of Artists, the Society of Canadian Artists, the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, and the Colour and Form Society. Her use of patterns and calligraphy evoke thoughts of ancient relics that merge with the texture of paint in a collage-like approach. Also evident in her work is the prominent use of layers, both paint and symbolic. Biographical Information: Renner is the winner of the 2008 Mississauga Arts Award for Established Artist and her paintings have been juried in well over 100 prestigious art exhibitions throughout Ontario, Alberta, and Japan. She is the recipient of over 30 awards including the Toni Stevens Award for Best Acrylic in the Society of Canadian Artists 50th Anniversary Exhibition in Calgary, Alberta; Central Ontario Art Association "Lloyd Minshall Award" and "COAA Award"; Toronto Watercolour Society "Award of Merit"; Central Ontario Art Association "Best of Show" and Colour and Form Society "Woolfitts Award". Her paintings are in public collections such as the Trillium Health Centre, the Aegis Financial Services, the Art Gallery of Mississauga, the Shaver Hospital, and the Mississauga City Council Office.
