About Us

Hi, I’m Renee Smith! I’m an artist, business owner, and curator of timeless creativity for The Turquoise Iris Journal. In my work, I use signature layering and blending techniques to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces. I also offer professional tools, paint workshops, and online community, and print services designed to elevate and amplify artists. I especially love my work consulting with artists who are looking to expand and grow their businesses through high quality prints!

As a faith based and family operated business, I understand how finding creative space and time to create while getting that quality time with family is so important.  I love helping artists find that balance and space while sharing the creative transformation of my own home and studio.

I live with my husband, surrounded by my 7 grown children and ever-growing number of grandchildren in Noel, Missouri. When I'm not creating or printing art, I love romantic walks through vintage markets with my husband, Will.
