"I'm Rena Jackson, founder and creative behind  Rena J Artistry x ABide Co.  Born and raised in Lutcher, Louisiana , and a proud graduate of Aveda Institue, my journey in the beauty industry has always been rooted in creativity, passion, and self-expression.

My love for beauty started at an early age. I remember watching my aunt teach my older cousin how to do hair and apply  makeup to her clients. Those moments Sparked soemthing in me that eventually grew into a passion and a career. 

My Love for fashion, however, came from a different place. Growing up, I didnt always have an abundance of clothing or endless options to choose from. I learned to get creative with the pieces I had, Finding different ways to style, layer, and reinvent outfits. Sometimes it was as simple as having fun with a modesty hook and turning an ordinary piece into something completely different. What I lacked in options, I made up for in imagination!

That creativity became part of who I am. I've always believed that style isnt about how much you have; its about how you use what you have.

Today, I continue to bring that same creativity into beauty, fashion, and everything I create. My goal is to inspire  confidence, encourage individuality, and remind others that you don't have to have it all to create something beautiful. 

Thank you for being part of the journey. This is more than beauty or fashion; it's creativity, confidence, and purpose woven together.
