Every brushstroke is a little love letter.
A way to slow down, choose something beautiful, and remind someone that they matter to you.
For birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, celebrations, sympathy, or simply because.
Not just a card.
A small piece of art that says, I thought of you.
Her knife. Your memories.
Pet portraits are what people ask for most — one dog or the whole pack, pieced together from as many photos as you have (one recent family piece: 24×36 acrylic).
But she'll take on just about anything: custom Christmas ornaments, a pumpkin once the season batch is done, even a vintage ironing board. If you can describe it, ask.

You will want more.
I have works of art and whimsy from Reni Krey in every room in my house and down my hall to get to these rooms! If you see something she has painted, you will want more. No two are alike; they are expressive and speak for what she knows and loves. Her art. Her passion. Her God-given talent. No matter what you purchase, you will be blown away, just as I am . . . each and every time.
— Patti Jones-Dixon
Larger originals painted for no one but herself — bison at 24×48, portraits of friends and legends. “I am a self-taught and still learning artist. I dreamed of days like this!”
Knife and brush in acrylic and mixed media — some pieces layer acrylic with rice paper and charcoal (like Goose and Jim); some of the horses are built up with modeling paste and additives. Each painting’s description lists its own materials, and originals for sale list their exact canvas size (e.g. Bison · 24×48).
A big palette-knife wolf head — ridges of paint built up into fur, and those blue eyes doing all the talking. The kind of piece that only happens when she paints for herself.
