Renate Kuprian is an artist and educator based in Santa Rosa, California. Originally from Merano, Italy, her European background and love of nature provides a unique context that informs her work. She received a B.A. in Art and a minor in Art History from Sonoma State University in 2003, where she was also named to the Dean's List at the School of Arts and Humanities.

Kuprian's artwork has been featured in exhibitions in both the United States and Europe.
