Tessa Prescott

Tessa's largescale, statement canvasses will bring the movement and light of the natural world directly to your interior spaces. Her paintings are uplifting. She works on a large scale in a free flowing and colourful style, in order to reflect the grace and stature of the subjects - trees, water and the untamed, tangly corners of the countryside.

Tessa paints from mental images collected through observation. She has a passion for trees, reflected in her work, but also in her dedication to growing, planting and nurturing native woodlands.

Tessa initially trained and graduated in Printmaking and then quickly translated the layering processes of print into a painting style, working as an independent artist painting and illustrating ever since.

Tessa sells directly to the cusomer, or through an agent.
