As an outdoor enthusiast and self-described beanbag botanist, Renee Adams finds immediate inspiration in the flora surrounding her home in rural central Washington State. She remains active in the regional arts scene as a curator and member of PUNCH Projects, an art collective dedicated to supporting the local creative economy and promoting rural artists. When not in her studio or working as a gallery manager at a local nonprofit arts center, she enjoys cultivating an edible and native plant garden, hunting for wild mushrooms, and sharing her love of the outdoors with others.
