Publish Date: Sept. 10, 2024

Professor of Fine Arts Renêe Azenaro has been a student-favorite art professor at Crafton Hills College since 2017, when she joined the CHC fine arts faculty. She is also an accomplished practitioner, her creative work including sculpture, paintings, printmaking, video, photography, curating exhibitions, and mixed media.

Recently her mixed media sculpture entitled "in my dreams i forgave myself" (pictured above) was selected for the publication HYENA to mark the centennial of André Breton's first Surrealist Manifesto through a feminist lens represented in artworks and writings.

Azenaro explained that this piece is part of a series of pieces in which she mines the sense of healing and what remains outwardly invisible. She adds, “my work is influenced by the natural world, biology, feminism, music, contemporary issues, politics—the world around us.”
