Rene's Bio... "I was born and raised in a small city in Peru, on the banks of the Amazon River. It was there in Iquitos that I stored up the memories, colors, shapes and designs of life that now serve me so well on canvas."

"Of course I also spent many years in Lima, Peru, where my family had relocated when both my brother and myself were in primary school. Then, at age sixteen, I was the first of my family to study in the U.S.A."

"In the United States, I apprenticed in graphic arts and became art director for several publications. I put down new roots and became a citizen of my adopted country. I also began to explore my options for portraying stories of the Native American Indian."

"At first, most of my work for the Indian stories was rendered relistically. It's only been more recently that I have found my stride with abstracts, impressionist work, and expressionism. Some of my abstracts are still available and are posted on the web. And for those which are sold, I can still offer prints of them."
