Vibrant, Abstract Realism Murals & Paintings

Artist Bio

Chanelle René is a contemporary figurative painter + mural artist whose work blends abstract-realism with vivid, emotional compositions. Her jewel-tone, expressive paintings explore identity through the lens of culture, pure self-essence, and (re)claiming spaces. 

Chanelle’s acclaimed ‘Grant Street Beach’ series centers nostalgia, belonging and joy on Cape May’s historic Black beach. Inspired by her childhood summers and family photographs, these dreamlike paintings capture intimate, beach moments spanning generations. 

With a public art practice rooted in storytelling, Chanelle has collaborated with brands and clients including National Hockey League + New Jersey Devils, ALT Summit, AtlantiCare and more, her body of work spans oil, acrylic, spray paint and mixed media. Featured in numerous publications and galleries, her art invites viewers into deeper connection and reflection with their own stories and spaces. 

Self-taught, Chanelle picked up painting in her 40s transitioning from a 20-year career in communications. Since 2020, she has been working as an independent artist out of her shore town, New Jersey studio in Cape May county.
