TERESA'S BIO
The bridging of spirituality and the fusion of color and movement have characterized my paintings for the past 20 years. In order to convey this sense of luminosity and light, I have used the Renaissance "glaze technique." For the last 15 years, I apprenticed with Hungarian visionary artist, Marika Popovits. Under her tutelage, I was educated in the time honored techniques of the "old masters."

This divine process allows me to create transparent applications of color, which I call "veiled oil." 15-20 layers of very thin glazes are built up which gives the impression of illumination from within. I embrace the essence of this way of painting as it returns me to the alchemy of full creation and the meditation that exists when one is centered in this process.

My travels to India, Italy and Mexico have deeply influenced and informed my life. My interior landscapes have led me to work with transformative energies having to do with rebirth, celebration and afterlife experiences. The images flow from a myriad of channels, archetypal, direct experience and interior musings....all the wonders of the magical, mystical and angelic. This form of work has given me both the freedom of sacred expression and the ability to help others discover their creative divine nature through the teaching of this technique.

Inspiration comes from the playfulness of color and movement in Marc Chagalls paintings,as well as the mystical nature of William Blakes work and the 12th century illuminated manuscripts of the abbess Hildegard Von Bingen.

My paintings are located in residences, offices and centers of healing throughout the country. As an artist, muralist and teacher of this technique it is my deepest desire and passion to share these paintings with the world.

My other passions are hot air ballooning and gardening. I have been a Universal Life Minister since 2009 and I am a Level 3 Akashic Records Reader.
