Opening Reception for Rena Brouwer: Aware The World Around Me

Join us on October 18th at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette for this opening reception! We are excited to showcase the expressive Rena Brouwer Aware: The World Around Me. Experience artworks that balance realistic and abstract elements before they open to the general public over complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

Rena Brouwer is an international award-winning watercolorist, instructor, and entrepreneur. With a passion for nature, Rena’s paintings reflect the beauty of a captured moment transposed onto paper in her unique contemporary style, one that is recognized worldwide.

For over 40 years, her innate artistic gifts have led her to teach at national art conventions, colleges, museums, and community venues across the nation. While her paintings can be found in both public and private collections around the world, Rena’s work is a voice that communicates her deepest values: Preservation of our natural resources, and our heritage, and the opportunity to educate future generations. With accolades spanning over four decades, her humbleness, gratitude, and sincerity echo these values.

Today, you’ll find Rena as co-owner and Gallery Directory of the Opera House Gallery of Contemporary Art in Delphi, Indiana, where she teaches and exhibits her work. She is also an Indiana Artisan, a member of The Brown County Art Guild, Indiana Artists Club, Hoosier Salon, Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, and a Cardinal Fellow member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana.
