Renecia Bihms (Cullier) was born in Houston, Texas in 1968. She is a self-taught painter who creates bold, colorful works with interesting strokes and textures. Her paintings are abstract testimonials based on real experiences and social influences she's endured. Renecia believes that art is a reflection of life and that we all are merely 'works of art in progress'.

Her artistic abilities were demonstrated early in her childhood as she would doodle, color, write, draw or paint on any kind of paper she could get her hands on. Sometimes that got her into trouble when she used her parents’ bills or other papers as her canvas. Art was a favorite past time. One of Renecia’s fondest memories was a Thanksgiving project in the fourth grade, when she drew and colored one of the best turkeys in the class and her teacher prominently displayed it on the bulletin board the entire season. She was very proud of her creation and remembers how thrilling it was to have her work exhibited. However, her early dreams of being a ‘real’ beret wearing artist were stifled by her parents and their disbelief of that being a realistic career choice.

Almost twenty years later, with loads of life experiences and a suffocating desire to fulfill her creative dreams, Renecia decided to go to art school to become a designer. In 2000 she proudly graduated with honors from The Art Institute of Houston with an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. She immediately began her career as a designer and continued til 2007. With many successful campaigns to her credit, she decided to un-plug from the technology driven industry to recapture the passion she once had for drawing and painting as a child and pursue a career as a full-time painter.
