Teresa has always been an artist at heart, but life took her in other directions for a long time. She’s finally doing what she’s always wanted to do – explore, create, and design! Teresa is a photographer, potter, and sculptor. As a photographer, she is currently exploring possibilities that lie beyond traditional representational images; she is delving into the creation of abstract designs.
Teresa grew up in Illinois, near St. Louis, Missouri. She always loved to draw; and, as a child, remembers spending hours drawing animals from pictures in her parents’ encyclopedias. She took some art classes in high school and attended Harding University (Searcy, AR). She attended business college and upon graduation, worked as an Administrative Assistant for many years. In 2013, Teresa went back to college to finish the art degree she had started so long ago. Her photographs are included in the permanent collection at the Lamar Dodd Art Center (LaGrange College) and at the Ida Callaway Hudson Lab Sciences Building (LaGrange College). Teresa’s work is or has been on display at local venues, i.e., Due South Southern Cuisine (Peachtree City, GA), Peachtree City Library (Peachtree City, GA), Newnan Theatre Company (Newnan, GA), Newnan Plaza Pharmacy (Newnan, GA), Burson’s ENT (Newnan, GA), and Southern Arc Dance (Newnan, GA). She has also had a photograph featured in the Newnan-Coweta Magazine (January/February, 2017 issue); and, Teresa was a Feature Artist for Dinett Hok Magazine, 1st Edition, 2019-2020. |
