Hi there! I'm Ren, and I'm a multi-passionate artist, mentor and blogger based in Canberra, Australia.
My first adventures with art started when I was in kindergarten at Northside Infants School. I quietly snuck into the classroom at lunch times to paint, but soon I got caught by my teacher and ended up in trouble! Despite this rocky start to my art career, I never gave up my creative spirit. I also got my first commissions at age five, drawing banana cats for my classmates at recess.
Over the past ten years, I've been on a long journey of healing and recovery after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and ME. My body of work reflects my personal path of restoring body, mind and spirit. I'm passionate about the intersection between psychology, spirituality, embodiment practice, and holistic health.
In the midst of pain and difficult times, art has been an outlet for my pain and a guiding light. I love painting because it's a space to play, explore, have fun and allow my intuition to guide me. While I love a wide range of art styles, I particularly enjoy the element of surprise and the unexpected that come with creating intuitive abstract art. It has taught me about being present, releasing control, and embracing imperfection.
I chose the name "Prismatic Streams" to encapsulate my eclectic interests and multiple passions. It also symbolises diversity and inclusivity. My mission is to inspire through creativity, empower people to heal holistically, and restore a sense of wellbeing through divine love.
