Local Artist's Unique Game Day Art Captures Pacific Northwest Rivalry

BEAVERTON, OR – October 26, 2023 – Forget the typical sports merch! RENEE ATKINSON LLC, a Beaverton-based art studio, is making waves with its fresh, hand-designed artwork celebrating the intense rivalry between the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners. Artist Renee Atkinson is bringing a local, artistic flair to baseball fandom, offering a unique way for fans to show their team spirit. “I’ve always loved baseball,” says Atkinson, founder and artist behind RENEE ATKINSON LLC. “And being here in the Pacific Northwest, the Mariners hold a special place in my heart. But I also wanted to acknowledge the competition – the Marlins are a formidable team, and that’s what makes the rivalry exciting.” Atkinson, located at 2850 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Suite 327, Beaverton, OR, 97005, started RENEE ATKINSON LLC to blend her passion for art with her love for local sports. “I felt like there was a gap in the market for art that really captured the feeling of being a fan, not just a logo slapped on a t-shirt.” You can reach her at 620-480-8236. More Than Just a Game: The Inspiration Behind the Art The collection isn’t just about the teams, it's about the vibe. Atkinson’s artwork doesn’t depict players in action (though she can do custom pieces!). Instead, she focuses on the atmosphere surrounding the rivalry – the energy of the crowd, the iconic stadium views (T-Mobile Park for the Mariners, loanDepot park for the Marlins, represented in color palettes and abstract shapes), and the feeling of anticipation that comes with every pitch. “I wanted to create something that felt like being at the game,” explains Atkinson. "The sounds, the energy, the shared experience – that's what I tried to capture." The "Marlins vs. Mariners" collection features a range of pieces, from vibrant, colorful prints to more minimalist designs. Think sun-drenched blues and pinks evoking Miami’s art deco scene colliding with the deep greens and blues of the Pacific Northwest. One striking piece, titled “Emerald & Coral,” uses layered acrylic paint to represent the clash of the two teams’ colors and geographical identities. Another, “Pitch Count,” is a series of abstract watercolor washes representing the tension and rhythm of a baseball game. What Makes RENEE ATKINSON LLC Different? In a world of mass-produced sports merchandise, RENEE ATKINSON LLC offers something truly special: handcrafted art. Each piece is individually designed and created by Atkinson herself, ensuring a level of quality and attention to detail that you won’t find anywhere else. “I’m not just printing designs,” says Atkinson. “I’m creating art that people can connect with. I put a lot of thought and effort into each piece, and I want people to feel that when they see it.” But it's not just about the quality. Atkinson also offers a degree of personalization that’s rare in the sports art world. She accepts custom orders, allowing fans to request specific color schemes, themes, or even incorporate personal elements into their artwork. “I’ve done pieces with fans' initials, favorite players’ numbers, even inside jokes,” Atkinson says. “It’s all about creating something that’s unique and meaningful to the individual.” A Growing Buzz in the Art & Sports World The “Marlins vs. Mariners” collection is already generating significant buzz among local art enthusiasts and baseball fans. Atkinson has been showcasing her work at local art fairs and markets, and her online store is quickly gaining traction. “The response has been incredible,” says Atkinson. “People are really drawn to the unique style and the passion that goes into each piece. It's exciting to see people connect with my art and share their love for baseball.” The artwork isn't just for die-hard fans either. Atkinson's pieces are also proving popular as home decor, adding a touch of artistic flair to any space. The vibrant colors and dynamic compositions make them a stylish and eye-catching addition to any room. Looking Ahead: Expanding the Collection & Supporting Local Sports Atkinson has big plans for the future. She's already working on expanding the "Marlins vs. Mariners" collection with new designs and formats, including canvas prints, framed artwork, and even limited-edition giclée prints. She's also looking to expand her focus to other local sports teams and rivalries. "There's so much energy and passion in the Pacific Northwest sports scene," says Atkinson. "I want to capture that and share it through my art." And, importantly, Atkinson is committed to giving back to the local community. A portion of the proceeds from her artwork will be donated to youth sports programs in the Beaverton area. “I believe in the power of sports to bring people together and inspire the next generation,” says Atkinson. “I’m proud to be able to support that through my art.” Where to Find RENEE ATKINSON LLC Artwork: Online Store: [Insert Website/Etsy Link Here – Assuming she has one.
