Murals by Ren Portfolio
“If people smile without realizing it, the mural is doing its job!”
Every mural is designed with its environment in mind—who passes it, who lingers, who needs joy, who needs softness, who needs permission to feel inspired. My work lives at the intersection of playfulness and intention, vibrancy and grounding.
Murals, to me, are visual anchors. They become part of people’s daily rituals—walking to work, meeting friends, passing through a neighborhood.
Clients often say working together feels:
Collaborative, not transactional
Thoughtful but not heavy
Organized and creative
Grounded, fun, and ease-filled
I guide each project from concept to installation with clear communication, timelines, and care, while leaving room for organic creativity to unfold.

Delicious days creating Symphony of Flora for Kane Realty’s new mixed-use development ✨
This piece was designed to bring a sense of calm and ease to the clubroom—an inviting space for residents to relax, gather, and unwind. The flowing botanical forms are inspired by nature’s quiet rhythms, offering a soft visual exhale.
So grateful to the Kane team for the love. My hope is that this mural serves as a steady source of tranquility and inspiration for everyone who spends time here

Mural Before + After
Murals inject life and energy into any environment, uplifting moods and creating memorable experiences.
Artist, storyteller, and creator of spaces that move people.
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist and muralist rooted in bold expression, vibrant storytelling, and Afrocentric color theory. My work lives at the intersection of joy, culture, and visual transformation—inviting people to pause, feel, and connect. From large-scale murals to intimate canvas pieces and playful product design, I see art as a medium of healing and expansion.
Public art changed my life before I ever painted one. I know what it’s like to walk past something and feel seen, comforted, energized, or curious—even for a moment. That moment matters. That’s what I’m here to create!
