IDOLS IN THE MIRROR

RENE WESTBROOK graduated from Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA in sculpture and a minor in Art Education.  Her interest in education reaches back to the early 1970s when she helped launch Paige Academy in Roxbury.

Along with her love for education, Westbrook has dedicated herself to personal spiritual studies as may be evident in her work. In 2003, she completed training at the American Gnostic School in Yelm, Washington, where she pursued metaphysics, creativity and spirituality.

Active as a painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, and producer, Westbrook has been resident artist at several fine arts centers, including AAMARP (African American Master Artists in Residence Program) at Northeastern University, California Council on the Arts in Oakland and Richmond, CA., and Alana Community Outreach and Training Center in Brattleboro, VT.
