Professional Background

 

Quilted Artistry by Renee:  Fiber / Textile Artist

From the moment she took her first class, Renée was captivated. After completing her first king-size quilt, she quickly found herself creating handmade pieces for everyone in her inner circle. Over time, her artistic voice evolved, and today she focuses primarily on representational art quilts—textile works designed to be displayed as fine art.

While she enjoys teaching, lecturing, and curating exhibitions when opportunities arise, most days you’ll find Renée in her studio, immersed in the creative process and exploring the expressive possibilities of fabric.

 

IBM:  Software Sales / Cloud Sales & Business Development

Renée built a long and accomplished career in the software division with IBM. Over the years, she held a wide range of roles, including programmer, systems engineer, sales representative, product manager, market manager, marketing manager, business development executive, and strategist—alongside numerous leadership positions.

In the latter part of her career, Renée became known as a trailblazer, forging new paths to revenue by introducing innovative sales approaches and expanding into markets and regions where IBM had not previously operated. No two days were ever the same, and the constant challenge of solving complex problems made the work deeply rewarding.
