Hello there~
My name is Rena [Ray-nuh], I’m a non-binary-yet-cis individual and I use they/them pronouns. I’m 34 and have silver hair coming in thick and fast… because my life is a friggin’ soap opera. The ptsd, AuDHD, Dyslexia and Dyscalcula are not helpful either.
I have been creating art for the last three decades, as the process feels more important than breathing most of the time.
My goal as an artist is not to make money, but to inspire others in any way I can. I want to be able to cause emotions to stir in a person and for them to be compelled to ask questions-
And I love being able to teach and provide resources to anyone who asks me for such help.
My media of choice is “YES” because my skill set is really diverse and I cant be bothered to pick a lane.
You can find me online at many a site, most commonly under the username renainnocenti, but also under LowPolyRen and Ineffective Carnivore, which is the name of my convention booth.
I am a high-key nerd who has a godzilla I"m every room of my house, figuringes and model kits everywhere, and two really, really strange cats that I think are married(?). I married this wonderful lady who restored a cemetery for her Eagle Scout project back when kids didn’t know that was an option, her name is Celeste and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. I also have a bpyfriend who is an IT guy and he’s charming as heck and thankfully just as anti-AI as I am [very].
I have been in a massive drawing/painting rut for almost a whole year, which is incredibly difficult for me to cope with as an illustrator, but i love having the ability to find other paths to express my passion for creativity… and when my older sister returned my chrochet hooks to me right before my little sister’s wedding, I just kinda went ham and haven’t stopped with the yarning.
I hope to be able to actually translate my patterns to something that isn’t only in my brain so that you can all enjoy them with me~
I will also be posting, eventually, my Cat Blorp pattern, which will be free, as it has always been. It is a sewing pattern, and something that people have loved to collect over the years.
Posted below are a small number of my works, and I hope you find them intriguing enough to ask what they’re all about~
I am also a safe person to randomly vent to or ask for advice on most things.
I’ve gone through a lot in my 34 years, and have actually helped my therapist with a few things she was dealing with because of my approach to the world.
(*^-●)vThanks!
