Biography

Theresa was born in Saskatchewan in 1976 and spent her childhood on the prairies.
At the age of twelve she took her first painting class and knew it was going to be much
more than just a hobby. Growing up, she was constantly observing and taking note of detail;
light and shadow, colour shifts and combinations, textures and more. She would then try to
re-create these details in her paintings.

By the time she was sixteen, Theresa had moved to British Columbia and started to use
painting as a form of expression. Throughout her twenties she developed a more abstract style
and has expanded into mixed media. Her current works often combine acrylics with oil stick,
pastel, or ink. She prefers not to pre-plan her work—instead she views each piece as a journey
to be discovered along the way. She has found this process to be refreshing and vital to her
development as an artist.

In recent years, Theresa's time has been split between British Columbia and Alberta.
She continues to show and sell her paintings throughout both provinces. Theresa has
returned to the beautiful Okanagan Valley and resides in Kelowna, BC where she produces
new works at her in-home studio.
