Re Baker-Dietz (she/they) was born in Springfield, Missouri and has traveled widely, keeping Springfield as home base. Their hobbies include creating artwork, (mainly Encaustic painting and 3D found object sculptures), making candles, spending time with their partner and pets, cooking at home, and gardening. Two years ago, they started working toward opening a nonprofit organization and successfully founded Arrow Art Supply Inc, a 501(c)3 Art Supply “Thrift Store” named Arrow Creative Reuse. Arrow opened in December 2022 and has been growing steadily to include Arrow Art Annex, a community building that hosts art classes, listening room concerts, and pop-up market events. Arrow Creative Reuse at 1506 E St. Louis Street also offers donated materials at a low cost to those who need them in the community, including teachers, students, and artists of all walks of life. A long time advocate of the LGTBQ+ community, Re (she/they) is happy to be recognized as a nonbinary judge for Glo’s Queer artist showcase.
