Born in Chicago, Re learned the love of art at a very young age. While Re pursued an education in business and marketing, she still made time to follow her calling to create. She has worked in oil, watercolor, acrylics, and pencil, and has created works in photography, hand-painted silk scarves, and hand-painted cards. She studied ornamental horticulture and worked as a designer for many years at shops in the Chicago suburbs. She has also worked as a mural and faux painter. As she entered the empty nest season of life, she pursued mixed media and collage classes and fell in love with this art form. She helps women define their dreams through Journey board workshops, where participants create a visual of their dreams through collage.
