Dahlia Eternal Love
Dahlias represent longevity and commitment because the flowers keep their blooms for an extended period. In the Victorian era, these blooms were often used in wedding bouquets. It is wedding season, and my anniversary is approaching, so I have been thinking about our wedding vows and our commitment to one another. The photo reference was taken while visiting Filoli Gardens in 2020.

Renee Switkes
Since entering the professional scene in August 2021, Renée has actively integrated into the Silicon Valley art community, drawing inspiration from personal encounters and nature. While primarily creating for personal fulfillment, collectors have recognized the impact of her work. Her paintings have been displayed at several galleries, and Voss Gallery represents her work. Renée has also received recognition for her work with two platinum and two bronze awards. Her paintings have been collected by private collectors across the globe, from France to India and in various locations in the United States. Her acceptance into the state-wide competition and salon by the Triton Museum in Santa Clara is a testament to her dedication and skill.
Renée says that painting flowers helps her slow down and enjoy nature’s simple beauty. It also nourishes her desire for others to feel joy and connect more deeply when they view her paintings.
