--- Sometimes small projects turn into giant products, and sometimes there are multiple ones like that going on at once, which makes it impossible to answer messages at "chat message" speed. With that said, I will do my absolute best to bump your request to the top of my to-do list so that we can hash out a golden plan for your book. Once we figure it all out, unless there is an imminent urgency, I'll work you into my schedule as quickly as I can. I also don't reply unless I have something worthy of your time to contribute to our project! So anyway, the point of this is just to say that YES, I'll familiarize myself with your world and work in synchronization with you to create stunning visual art to complement your stunning written art.---

My goal is to support fellow creative people and help bring their work to the world in a fun, happy, and nurturing environment, because creativity feeds us, and makes our world a beautiful place to live. "Earth" without "art" is just "Eh". ;)

I'm looking forward to hearing about your project, your journey, and your goals.

Warmest wishes,
Rena

The three covers she designed for my series are stunning, and based on the number of compliments I’ve received on them, I know I’m not the only one who loves them.

Rena is so fun to work with. When I reached out to her, I was so nervous because I really didn’t know what I was looking for with my book cover and I couldn’t spend a whole lot of money because this is my debut novel and I’m an indie writer who still has bills to pay. Rena worked with me on a price that was fair to the both of us and then she really went above and beyond for my cover. I sent he...

Rena, was absolutely wonderful to work with! She always got back to me in a timely manner and she brought my vision to life exactly as how I had pictured it in my head.

I had a challenging project for her, creating the layout for a poetry book, "Notes From The Bonfire," which involved a series of illustrations and photos in different places in the text. Because of spacing issues with poetry on Kindle, I suspected this might be a difficult project and it was. The job required Rena to make numerous revisions. ...

Working with Rena has been a delight as always. She is an excellent listener and always willing to develop images further in the direction required. She more than brings my vision to life; she exceeds it. And for that, I am very thankful and will recommend her highly to any and all who might take the time to read this review.
