Founder & CEO

Teresa Bare-Inman

Teresa is the owner and founder of ReTwist-T. Born and raised in the Midwest, and an avid learner, Teresa continues active careers as a Physical Therapist Assistant, Health & Wellness Coach, and Cosmetologist. It was her desire to reignite the creative fire in her family that led to establishing ReTwist-T, a sweet little fine art and repurposed goods shop. Her hand-crafted, rustic chic mixed media creations were met with astonishing success until, in 2019, she was able to open her first brick-and-mortar location in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Today, along with her growing team of local artists, artisans and curators, Teresa continues to explore the creative process while promoting health and well-being.

 

Teresa serves her community as a River Arts, Inc. Board Member, Aperi Animam Board Member, Member of the Sauk-Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce, Friends of the George Culver Library Board Member, Optimist Club Member and on the Social Justice & Equity Initiative.

Art Director & Studio Artist

Denise - Galloway Gallery & R&D Designs

Denise is a photorealistic artist working primarily in acrylics. Inspired by the country views of the Midwest and her own growing passion for visual expression, she uses natural textures, such as wood, for the base of her creations.

 

Due to her dedication, versatility and focus throughout her career, Denise is accomplished in many forms of visual arts practices. Her expertise in directing photoshoots, designing marketing and tradeshow materials, and preparing visualizations of engineering prototypes provides the backbone for the art direction  and furniture design she now provides as an important component of the ReTwist-T Studios.

 

As a Studio Artist, Denise continues to participate in numerous Gallery Presentations and Art Exhibitions, with works held in a number of private collections across the Midwest. She invites you to stop by and share her artistic vision within the Galloway Gallery space  at ReTwist-T.

Now retired and taking a break from the blue prints and schematics, he is pursuing his creative passions: breathing life into his antique Case DC tractor and woodworking.
