Meet the Creatives

Welcome to our journey, where we’re excited to introduce you to the heart and soul behind Rhen.Ovations, our creative art and design studio. My name is Sheena Dawkins, and I co-run this business with my mother, Rhen, who is not just my partner but the foundation of everything we do here.

Our story began with a shared love for art and beauty, and the joy of creating something meaningful with our own hands. Rhen.Ovations is a name that carries deep significance for us. It’s a combination of my mother’s name, Rhen, and the word “renovations,” symbolizing our mission to take something and transform it into something extraordinary. The name itself was born from my father’s imagination, perfectly encapsulating our family’s creative spirit.

At Rhen.Ovations, we offer a range of products and services that reflect our commitment to quality and creativity. From original art and high-quality art reproductions to curated, handmade home decor and lifestyle items that promote well-being, we believe in bringing beauty into everyday life. Our services extend beyond products; we offer interior styling, an intimate event venue, and creative services using advanced laser cutting technology.

What sets us apart from other businesses is the unique mother-daughter bond that forms the core of our studio. Our passion for art, design, and community drives everything we do, and we pride ourselves on offering hands-on experiences that make our clients feel like they are part of the creative process. My mother, an accomplished artist, brings her wisdom and artistic vision, while I, as the Creative Director, build on that foundation with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Together, we blend two generations’ worth of experience and creativity to create something truly unique.

One of our most memorable projects was the launch of our first collection of my mother’s artwork in the form of high-quality reproductions. This allowed us to make her art more accessible, giving our clients the chance to bring a piece of her vision into their homes at an affordable price. It was a moment that symbolized everything we stand for—art that is both beautiful and inclusive.

Our personal backgrounds deeply influence our work. Coming from different generations, my mother and I each bring our own experiences to the table, yet we share a common direction. This blend of perspectives allows us to create art and designs that resonate with a wide audience, offering something for everyone.

Looking ahead, my vision for Rhen.Ovations is one of growth and community impact. I hope to expand our space and offer more services that can make a difference in people’s lives. Whether through our well-being products, our interior styling services, or our intimate event spaces, we want to create positive change in our clients’ lives.

At the end of the day, I hope people take away that we are more than just a business. We are human beings chasing our passion and striving to bring that passion into the lives of others. No matter the ups and downs, we believe that it’s possible to create a life filled with peace, purpose, and love—and we want to share that journey with you.

Thank you for being part of our creative journey. We look forward to many more Mondays where we can share our passion, our process, and the stories that make Rhen.Ovations what it is today.
