Vennie has taken an interest in religious art. The old master's techniques of painting on panels and intriguing use of colors are fascinating challenges. She has begun to paint at "The Studio" to study the techniques of the old masters. The Studio is run by Cynthia Kelly-Overall. These works are a radical change from Vennie's usual style.

Vennie does not market her religious art as such and is presently working on a series on the life of Christ. Commissions will be considered.
