Her grandparents were born in Lincoln Town, a place made famous by the Legends of Billy the Kid.. Her natural artistic abilities are the result of her life in the Southwest and the influences of her ancestors' love and respect for their culture. This rich background is reflected in her paintings and works of art. It has enabled her to develop this unique style which gives life and warmth to her works of art.. Rey is an immigrant from Mexico; he was born in Sonora. He migrated to this country with his parents at a young age. Early in life he developed his ability to work with wood. He romanced his turbulant past and historical culture to bring forth his artistic talent of creating decorative and functional works of art..
