Renne won awards and achievements across the U.S. and abroad and in 1978 he was officially awarded the Texas State Artist title. By the mid 1980s his fan base and body of work caught the attention of Zsa Zsa Gabor and President Ronald Reagan, who famously acquired his artwork on an issue of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.“ “Renne was born to Jack B. Hughes and Mabel Dean Sasser in 1941. His father was a record holder athlete at the University of Texas in Austin and was a discus contender in the 1940 Summer Olympics before they were cancelled due to World War II. He spent his childhood in the Texas country and began to create drawings, sketches and began working with oil paints. The family later moved to Lake Worth, Texas where he eventually attended Arlington Heights high school and was a champion body builder at LCRA. He later attended Texas Christian University for an engineering degree where he met his wife, Laura Shesa.” Measurements are including frame are 8.75 X 8.75
