Kieran Timberlake Associates Renée Stout grew up in Pittsburgh and received her B.F.A. from Carnegie-Mellon University 1980. In 1985, she moved to Washington, DC and began to explore the spiritual roots of her African American heritage. She looks to the belief systems of African peoples and their descendants in the African Diaspora as well as her immediate environment, for the inspiration to create works that encourage self-examination, self-empowerment and self-healing. The lives of Stout's imaginary characters unfold in a variety of media, including painting, mixed media sculpture, photography and installation. The recipient of awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Stout has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in England, Russia and the Netherlands. Her work is in the permanent collections of museums such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Corcoran Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and St. Louis Museum of Art. For additional information
about Renée Stout, see pages 90-91 in the November 2005 issue of
Washingtonian magazine.
