Rochester Magazine, May 2018
You’ve heard the BIG news. And the BIGGER news.
But the BIGGEST news?
Y’all . . .I made the cover of Rochester Magazine this month.
I. Cannot. Even!
When I was initially approached to be the focus of an article, I was thrilled because – if nothing else – I try to use my art to reach people who have been damaged by benzodiazepines. I want them to understand that it does get easier; it just takes a very long time. If I’m remembered for nothing else, I hope it is in the area of advocacy for reform when it comes to psychotropic drugs.
But you know what else I want to be remembered for?
Being a super model at the age of FIFTY?!
Thanks to photographer, Jamie Germano, for a great photoshoot… and for airbrushing away all my wrinkles; to Sandra Parker for writing the copy; and to Mark Liu for having faith in my story. Copies are available at Wegmans and Barnes & Nobel starting today!
PS: I hope you will check out my story and share your reaction with me here and/or on Facebook.
Thank you all sooooo very much for continuing to support me on this crazy, magical journey that is my life.

Wow, that’s amazing! And well-deserved. You’ve had an incredible journey to get here, Renee, and your story is going to help a lot of people. I’m also sure it will get your artwork out there to more folks – and that’s a wonderful thing, too! HUGS!
Good for you Renne, you’re so talented!!!!!!!
Congratulations, Renee.
Wow! Just Wow! I. Cannot. Even!
