Sann René Glaza was named after an artist friend of her parents and had a passion for the arts from an early age, finishing her first oil painting at the age of eight. She was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the USA and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Kansas. After just a few years working in a commercial art job in Texas, she accepted an opportunity to move into a position in a technology company. This lead to management positions in multinational companies that took her from Colorado to Germany and finally to Belgium where she settled. Even during the busy times of her career and raising a family, Sann René continued painting and exploring other artistic mediums.

Today, Sann René has left her corporate career behind and is now concentrating on water-based oil paintings of landscapes and nature subjects. Her background of photography and graphic design, as well as her love of strong colour and the beauty of nature come through in her paintings. In the hectic, overwhelming and often negative world we all live in, Sann René hopes her paintings bring calm and rest into your world. Take a moment, breathe slowly and deeply and let your mind wander through a pocket of happiness in her paintings. Enjoy.
