About

Teresa’s  stu­dio in Corn­wall is close to the Rivers Lyn­her and Tamar as well as the land­scape of Dart­moor. It is sur­rounded by many Cor­nish coast paths, seas and estu­ar­ies from where she derives most of her inspiration.

Her work is rooted in the nature and effects of land­scape and seascape  through chang­ing emo­tions, move­ment, light and colour. The visual lan­guage used reflects the con­stant con­nec­tion with the ele­ments through daily walks.  From ini­tial response to a sub­ject, after obser­va­tional draw­ing, the imag­i­na­tion takes over and instinct and inno­va­tion pro­duce com­pelling can­vases full of beauty and feeling.

Sub­jects range from land and seascape to  still life objects, gar­dens or envi­ron­men­tal  effects  such as cli­mate change or recy­cling issues.  Cur­rent  work con­cerns the sur­face tex­tures and pat­terns of lily ponds inspired by a recent trip to the Eden Project. This work is tak­ing a more abstract direc­tion, with exper­i­men­tal use of sten­cil shapes and the con­trasts between flat and dec­o­ra­tive sur­faces.
Teresa  gained a BA 1st class hon­ours degree in paint­ing from the Uni­ver­sity of Hert­ford­shire in 1996 and has since worked full time as an artist, exhibit­ing in gal­leries nation­ally and inter­na­tion­ally.   Her work is now in many  col­lec­tions world­wide.  See the Exhi­bi­tions page for cur­rent shows.
Stu­dio vis­its are wel­comed by appointment.
