During this time, Renee was also the colorist on hundreds of comics from the Avengers to Spiderman to Captain America among many, many more.

Other books include a biography and retrospective on artist Mark Texeira entitled “Tex: The Art of Mark Texeira,” as well as the Michael Golden sketchbooks, “Heroes and Villains” and “MORE Heroes and Villains,” and the Texeira sketchbooks “Babes and Brawn” and “Mark Texeira: Nightmares and Daydreams.”
Her newest books are “Nick Cardy: The Artist at War,” serving as a historical document of the sketches produced by renowned illustrator Nick Cardy, while serving in the military during World War II, and her children’s book “Kerry and the Scary Things.”
A member of the Society of Illustrators in Manhattan, Renee is currently working on new sketchbooks on Mr. Golden, and Joe Jusko among others.
