"Still Life with a Teapot" Painting

Born in the USA, Teresa paints in watercolor, acrylics and oil. Her work has appeared in many shows and juried art competitions, winning a variety of awards and honors. "A Signature Member of the Alaska Watercolor Society and a member of the Valley Fine Arts Association, I paint primarily in watercolor because I love it's potential for spontaneous and amazing effects. I feel it's something I will never totally master, and yet always find alluring. Living in Alaska and visiting in South Dakota, I am surrounded by majestic scenery. While it influences my painting, my work varies--from landscapes to still lifes and the occasional abstract work. Intrigued by the beauty of nature or the light upon objects, striking shadows or reflections, I find art a way to look more deeply at my surroundings and try to capture the sense of delight, the warmth of sunlight, the play of colors when I saw the scene. I hope I convey some of my impressions to my viewers."
