About

Renée Auguste, born in Southern California in 1966, was three years old
when her mother first introduced her to the artistic world. From the
moment she sketched her first shape, she knew that art is what she
wanted to do for the rest of her life.
At the age of 14 she received a very special honor, an art scholarship to
California State University, in Northridge, California, which further paved
the way for her artistic endeavors. In 1991 she opened her own business,
Auguste Art, where she created and sold thousands of paintings and, of
course, the stories that went with them. She loved adding stories to her
paintings which helped the viewer connect at a deeper level.
In her 40s she began teaching private art lessons to students of all ages.
Through teaching, and learning from her students, she found a whole
new way in which to share art and all of her experience and knowledge
with the world.
These books are dedicated and inspired by Renee's art students ...
