Senseless Tears, 2023 depicts a weeping willow tree growing out of foliage and encircled by a star chart. This work is painted over book pages from Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. The title: Senseless Tears, refences Austen’s book, and the word: Tears, refers to both the heartbreak of the novel’s three heroines as well as the central image of the weeping willow. The constellation map that surrounds the tree, suggests at the timelessness of love.

Most of the text from the book pages has been painted out line by line, giving the composition a woven quality - like a tapestry. Only the trunk of the tree shows uninterrupted text from the novel’s pages beneath, hinting at the structure of the image and giving the viewer a moment to consider the underlaying meaning of the painting.

My work is about the art of communication, and how communication and belief are interconnected.

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Renée Bott has always made and worked in art. Traveling west in 1983 and settling in Berkeley, Renée earned her MFA from The California College of Arts and Crafts in 1985. That same year, she started working as a printer for Crown Point Press in San Francisco, working alongside artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, and Al Held.

In 1996, Renée and Pam Paulson founded Paulson Bott Press, a fine print atelier located in Berkeley, California. For twenty years, Renée was a partner and Master Printer of Paulson Bott Press (now called Paulson Fontaine Press). Here she worked with luminary artists such as Martin Puryear, Kerry James Marshall, and Tauba Auerbach. Renée specialized in facilitating the creation of complex and colorful intaglio prints within a traditionally black and white medium.

In 2016 Renee left Paulson Bott Press to pursue making her own art. In 2018 Seager Grey included Renee in her annual spring show: The Art of the Book and in 2019 Seager Gray exhibited a solo show of Renee's paintings alongside sculptures by Deloss Webber. In 2020, Renee was included in the San Francisco's Fine Art Museum show: The deYoung Open, exhibiting her work alongside important bay area artists. Working steadily on her art in her home studio, Renee's paintings have been exhibited widely since 2020 in many west coast galleries as well as virtual shows. This year Seager Gray will host a solo show for Renee as well as her inclusion in Renewal at the grand opening art show for the Tiburon Library.
