Local Artist Captures Rivalry Spirit with "Marlins vs. Mariners" Collection
Beaverton, OR – October 26, 2023 – RENEE ATKINSON LLC, a vibrant art studio based right here in Beaverton, is making waves with its new collection celebrating the classic baseball rivalry between the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners. Artist Renee Atkinson, known for her dynamic and colorful depictions of sports moments, has poured her passion for the game into a series of pieces that really get the energy of these two teams facing off. Renee Atkinson LLC isn’t just another art company. Founded with a simple goal – to bring a little joy and personality to people’s spaces – the studio, located at 2850 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Suite 327, focuses on creating artwork that resonates with real life. “I love capturing those electric moments, the ones that fans remember forever,” explains Renee, who can be reached at 620-480-8236. “And this Marlins-Mariners rivalry? It's got history, it’s got excitement, and it’s begging to be captured on canvas.” So, what exactly is the “Marlins vs. Mariners” collection? It's not just one painting. Renee has created a whole range of pieces, from bold, large-scale canvases to smaller, more affordable prints. There are even some really cool digital art options for those who want to spice up their phone or computer backgrounds. Let’s break down some of the highlights: "South Beach Showdown": This is a real statement piece. It's a big canvas, bursting with the bright colors of Miami, depicting a tense moment between a Marlins batter and a Mariners pitcher. Renee really captured the heat of the Florida sun and the intensity of the competition. “I wanted it to feel like you were right there at the stadium, feeling the energy of the crowd,” she says. "Emerald City Slugfest": Switching gears to Seattle, this piece focuses on the Mariners’ home field advantage. The colors are cooler, reflecting the Pacific Northwest, but the energy is just as high. You can practically hear the roar of the T-Mobile Park crowd. The artwork features a Mariners power hitter connecting with a fastball, with a Marlins fielder scrambling to make a play. "Fish vs. Fins": This one's a little different. It's a more abstract piece, focusing on the team logos and colors. It's a great option for modern spaces and really shows off your team spirit without being too overt. Think cool, geometric shapes and a striking color palette. "The Duel": This smaller canvas captures a one-on-one showdown between a Marlins catcher and a Mariners base runner attempting to steal. It’s a classic baseball moment and Renee really nailed the tension and athleticism. It’s perfect for a den, office, or even a kid’s room. "Game Day Vibes": This collection also includes a series of digital art pieces – phone wallpapers, desktop backgrounds, and even social media graphics. These are a super affordable way to show off your love for the Marlins or Mariners (or both!). But why this rivalry? Renee explains, "I’ve been following baseball for years, and the Marlins-Mariners games always seem to be unpredictable, with a lot of drama. There's a good energy between the teams. They push each other to play their best. It’s not a heated rivalry in a bad way, just a really competitive one." She’s right. While not as historically intense as, say, the Yankees-Red Sox, the Marlins and Mariners have a history of close games, exciting matchups, and memorable moments. Both teams have had periods of success and struggle, making their contests all the more compelling. Plus, they represent different styles of baseball – the Marlins with their scrappy, underdog spirit and the Mariners with their power-hitting lineup. The “Marlins vs. Mariners” collection isn’t just for die-hard baseball fans, though. Renee believes that her artwork can appeal to anyone who appreciates vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and a celebration of the human spirit. “Sports are about more than just winning and losing,” she says. “They’re about passion, teamwork, and overcoming challenges. That’s what I try to capture in my work.” Renee Atkinson LLC is committed to providing high-quality artwork that is both beautiful and affordable. All pieces are created using archival-quality materials, ensuring that they will last for years to come. Prints are available in a variety of sizes and framing options.
