Hymns to the Silence

"In my paintings, I reach out to touch the Joys,

Wonders & Mysteries of Life.

It is my way to connect to God & Nature.

My hope is to share this Connection."
 

The purpose of my art is to restore our connection to the Sacred.
To promote respect for all Life & Beauty.
Beauty takes on many forms;
in Nature, in the Spirit, in Music & in Art.
Beauty heals & is essential to the life of our Souls.

I have always been passionate about Art & Nature & the Wonder of Life.
I hope that my paintings reflect that love.

In case you were wondering. . .
Hellmann is my maiden name & Renner is my married name.
I've chosen to keep Hellmann as my last name to retain name recognition,
and to adopt my wonderful husband's last name, Renner, into my identity as my middle name.
Strange, I know, call it artistic license if you will.
