Ren Ashe (they/he) is a transmasc nonbinary creative soul born and raised in the CSRA. Though primarily a painter of odd, bizarre, and, at times, uncomfortable themes, Ren also enjoys drawing, clay work, bone/taxidermy art, mixed media, plus many other media forms; they consider most items as having the potential to be in an art piece. In addition to being a visual artist, Ren is also a published writer and a performer, having recently been in The Augusta Players’ ArtReach productions of ‘Pinocchio’ and ‘Snow Queen.’ Ren lives with his partner of over 15 years, their two children, and multiple animals.

I’ve been primarily self taught as an artist, though I find experience and experimentation can provide ample chances to learn throughout life.
