Theresa Parsons

I grew up in a home where art lived on every surface. My mother was an artist, and her studio was the place where I first learned to see the world through color, light, and emotion. Watching her paint taught me not only technique but also the quiet joy of creating something meaningful with my hands.

I discovered my own passion at sixteen, when I completed my first painting. That moment became the thread that followed me through every chapter of my life — raising my children, earning my degree, and building my career. Although I painted only occasionally during those years, art remained a steady companion.

Today I work primarily in acrylics and watercolors, creating landscapes and nature‑inspired pieces that reflect calm, softness, and the beauty found in everyday light. My work has been featured in online exhibitions including TERAVARNA, Exhibizone, Biafarin, and Light Space & Time, with ongoing submissions to national juried shows such as NOAPS.

In addition to my traditional work, I create a unique series called Painted on Glass — The Whisper Series, a collection of originals painted directly on the front surface of glass. This technique allows light to pass...
