Renee Mudgett (She/They) is a mixed-media artist who utilizes collage, paint, photography and screen
printing. As a survivor of domestic violence, Renee’s work is a vivid self portrait, telling the ongoing story
of the challenges that arise when leaving abuse. Her abstract work allows for a symbolic representation of
the internal struggles: confusion, security, re-experiencing, and identity. The not-fully-rendered imagery
depicts isolation while the shapes are attempting to navigate through uncertainty to a new beginning. The
simplicity of Renee’s work symbolizes how subtle pain can appear, but the depth that can be felt; through
the seeming innocence of the content, but the vastness given by the context.
