Georgia Rettmer
Providing it takes two's signature look is Georgia Rettmer who, with her daughter Kimberly Rinehart, founded it takes two in 1984. Georgia's creative process includes making and dying her own paper and then creating colorful images by tearing the paper by hand — no scissors for this artist. Proud grandmother of eight, Georgia splits her time between Mankato, MN, and Bayfield, WI, as well as adventures by motor home and boat around the country. |
