Ree was interviewed as a spotlight artist in September 2024 by Create Whimsy. The interview delves into Ree's history, and her creative process.
"I am an improvisor on many levels. I took classes from Nancy Crow in the 1990‘s and learned to work improvisationally with fabric, cutting and sewing without rulers and templates. I still use this approach to construction. I produced very large abstract pieces working that way until 2006, when I was accepted as an Artist in Residence at Denali National Park. I spent my two weeks in Denali Park doing very representational drawings which then became very important images in subsequent work. I work with units that I mix and combine as I develop a piece.This allows me to make major changes in the piece right up until the very end if I want to."
