Law of Attraction - What Makes You Glow?!

Join Anna K. as she interviews artist Patrick Renner.  

Patrick is a native Houstonian and received his BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2004 and his MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2006.  He has exhibited at the local, state, and national level.  Sculpture is Renner's primary artistic mode, with an interest in re-purposing discarded material, especially architectural refuse.  Renner teaches art at the high school level at Houston ISD's first 6-12 charter, Sharpstown International School, whose students have received a prize for each car entered in the Houston Art Car Parade over the last three years.  He is a founding member of {exurb} multimedia arts collective, which works out of Campus, a multifaceted creative collective.  Renner is also a long-time contributor to el Rincon Social, an east side Houston arts warehouse, now opening an extension called Alonzo Gallery on Main St.  His first large-scale public commission, Funnel Tunnel, a 180-foot wood and steel sculpture snaking through a Montrose median, has garnered much positive critical response.
