Make Waves: Abstract the Sea

10:30am-1:30pm

Calling all painters, ocean dreamers, and creative rebels—time to make a splash! In this class, I’ll guide you from a picture of a seascape painting and show you how to break it apart, reimagine it, and unleash its energy on your own canvas. We’ll strip down waves, light, and horizon lines into bold shapes and marks that hum with movement and mystery.

Instructor Information:

Renée Rey is a New York artist who has called Delray Beach, Florida home for the past four years. With more than 10 years of experience teaching art, she brings a broad range of experience—and a passion for experimentation—to the classroom.

Rey has taught classical, Impressionist, and abstract drawing; live figure drawing; portraiture; acrylic and oil painting; mixed media; and collage. Her approach combines strong foundational skills with experimentation, encouraging students to develop their own visual language while discovering new ways to see and make.

Her background is equally interdisciplinary. Rey studied Interior Architecture and Drawing & Painting at Parsons School of Design, and continued her studies in drawing, painting, and art history at SUNY Albany and Palm Beach State College. She holds an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MA in Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

A practicing artist for more than 30 years, Rey brings the perspective of a working artist into every class. Her goal is simple: to give students the skills, confidence, and freedom to make their own work—and have a good time doing it.
