Renee Kaup creates still life and landscape paintings in oil, watercolor and pen and ink. Originally from Idaho, Renee has recently relocated to Winthrop Washington.

During her residency at Confluence, Renee’s intent is to discover and develop a signature style to advance herself as an artist. She plans to work with a looser brush stroke style, more apparent line work and similar color schemes reflecting the valley’s ever-changing compositions. With these discoveries of style and theme, she will spend her residency creating a body of work expressing this valley’s beauty and variety.


Renee Kaup received a BFA in painting and drawing from University of Utah. She was a teaching artist from 2005 – 2012 in drawing, painting and printmaking at Gardenia Center, Sandpoint, ID. Renee has participated in solo and group exhibitions primarily in Idaho and Nelson BC since 2003.
