Her exposure to an international community at a young age, instilled the values of embracing cultural diversity and having compassion for people from all over the world.
Libre acquired her Cambridge IGCSE Certificate in Visual Arts and International Baccalaureat Diploma for Higher Level Visual Arts at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa in Mbabane, Swaziland, where Lord Richard Attenborough is a patron for the school's Art Center.

During her teenage years, she was often inspired by the beauty of the colors of the African savanah, hills, sunsets and clear blue skies. She loves how nature's colors are perfectly balanced, which are altogther serene, vibrant and warm. This continues to influence her choice of color palette in her paintings. Currently, her body of work demonstrates her versatility as an artist and reflects the warmth of her personality. Each artwork shows a unique technique and approach to painting.
