Biography

With every stroke of the brush…

Jaii Marc Renee, opens his heart to the world using the paint as his blood and canvas as his heart.

The artist known as Jaii Marc Renee was born Mark Jamale Pinckney on March 7, 1986 in Hartford CT. At the age of ten he and his single mother moved to Manchester where he has remained a member of the community ever since.

He has been married to art ever since his early years of life when he began to draw cartoons for family and friends. It wasn’t until high school that he picked up a brush for the first time and it was not love at first sight.

Like almost every artist, he struggled to find his identity or “style”, as some of us call it, sporadically painting for years after his introduction to an elective, in a high school art class. Self-esteem and mental health played an adverse role, clouding the road to self-identity, but it was this same adversity that paved the way for the artist he is today. Jaii Marc used painting, as a mechanism to channel the difficult symptoms of Bipolar Depression. When his art is brought into your home, in reality, it’s his heart that you let in.

Using his own unique style of large canvases, black and white focal points, with a bold, vibrant pop of color and splatter abstract, are ways to identify his virtuosity.
