MEET THE ARTIST
This lifelong artist began seriously pursuing art in 2014. Her passion for clouds, the plains, rolling hills and mountains in her somewhat abstract landscape pieces. Teresa’s focus on how lighting affects what we see in the landscape is evident throughout her work. You may find purple acrylic mountains, big open cloudless blue skies or paint teamed with crayon and permanent marker to recreate a tall stand of trees. The idea is for you to feel the beauty of nature. Stop, and see how a cloud passing over creates a lavender shadow on the plains. Her abstracts include representations of nature and human emotion.
Teresa is a local Texas artist whose work has been exhibited in many Austin area locations. She participates in group and curated exhibits at Art for The People Gallery, Round Rock Arts, Georgetown Arts, Lost Pines Art Center and The Price Center and Garden in San Marcos, Texas as well as The Hive, Bee Cave Arts Foundation.
