Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!

Hi, I’m Teresa

an expressive abstract artist based in Seattle, Washington.

My art practice is one of reflection, where I aspire to connect honestly to the ebbs and flows of life through paint. I love the mystery and freedom of abstract art, and the way it lends itself to express those things below the surface that can feel beyond words.
