Teresa Righetti

I was born in 1966 and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, before moving to Florence, Italy in 1977, where I lived until 1992. I currently live on the South Coast of the UK.

My first memory as an ‘artist’ came when I was 9 and Sr Assumpta, Headmistress at Holy Cross Sisters’ Junior School in Bellville praised me in front of the whole school assembly for the mural that I had made which was displayed above the entrance to the school hall.

Since then, I have travelled far and wide, but I have always carried with me the warm landscapes of South Africa, the Renaissance architecture of Florence where I dipped my toes in History of Art, and the cool industrial art of Germany.

I eventually settled for a while in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK to study Design Communications and started my career as a lowly Photohop designer, as one does.
