Renee Richetts (November 5, 1954) is an American artist best known for her hinged metal books, created from re-purposed materials. Her genre of work is mixed-media sculpture in the category of artist books. Examples of her work are represented in public collections at the University of California in San Diego, the Girl Scout Museum in New York, and at the San Diego Discovery Children’s Museum in Escondido, California. Her work is widely collected in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In 2005, Richetts' solo show, ''"Towers and SPAM"'' was presented in The Joan Irving Gallery. The series was an oft-times comedic pun between the precooked meat product Spam, (which is a staple in her kitchen), and the junk mail bane of internet users. In 2010, Richetts' Gallery space in Southern California began showing her art work and curator skills full-time, through installations and exhibits of her work and that of other artists, including painters Lisa Bebi, and Victoria Huckins, photographers Colene Nguyen and Brooke Binkowski, and glass artists Kellene Richetts-Nguyen and Cherrie La Porte. Richetts is also known for her eco-friendly garments and accessories, designed with recycled materials. She is an annual participant in the Escondido Arts Partnership/Municipal Gallery Recycled Materials Runway Event. ==Education== Richetts attended the University of California, San Diego, studying linguistics and French Literature. It was while attending U.C.S.D. that she had the opportunity to study art history and architecture in southern France and in Paris. Her arts education post-U.C.S.D. has included research in Italy, the Czech Republic, and Germany. Richetts also earned her nursing degree, graduating from Palomar College in 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renee Richetts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
