Rhen's Art
I wanted to sit down with my mother, Rhen, and ask her a few questions about what inspires her as an artist. Get to know the artist behind theses amazing creations and designs.
What does your work aim to say?
"Art, for me, has been about reflection. Tapping into the ancestral part of my being that's quietly guiding me closer to knowing myself and my purpose. My art aims to say nothing, but invoke remembrance and inspiration gained from our history."
What is your style of art?
"I don't really have a particular style. I personally don't believe in limiting myself in my art. It is where true freedom resides and I enjoy exploring who I am through many different styles. My style is continuously improvised with no bounds or limits."
What inspired the Coltrane Collection?
"When you live in a small town opportunity can seem limited. For much of my life I was unaware that Coltrane resided in the very place that I grew up. To know that someone who made such an impact on the world was from the same small, seemingly limited, town immediately opened this door in my life; it's connection and purpose. I never aimed to be as big as he is or even reach as many people as he continuously does. I wanted to be a conduit of his energy and revive his legacy in our home town. I want to bring him back home."
What role does an artist have in society?
Artist are the eyes to humanities soul. We are what gives vision to the unseen. We bring imagery to emotion and invoke feelings that are open to infinite interpretation.Though each interpretation is different, the message stays the same. That we are filled with endless possibility. All of us!"
