Artist Highlights
Theresa's artistic style is a unique blend of inspiration, creativity, bright colors and fun - meant to bring joy and a smidge of sunshine into the world.
01
Inspiration is Everywhere!
We are so lucky have so many inspirational things around us: mountains, rivers, beautiful flowers, good food and friendship! I utilize all of this daily in my art. Inspiration is TRULY everywhere when we are open to receive it!
02
Creative & Artistic
Creativity is a core value for me - it brings me so much happiness. Each day brings an opportunity for new creative adventures. My creativity shows up everywhere - from cross stitch, to surface pattern design, to gardening and beyond. I am so excited to share it with you!
03
Full of Sunshine
It is important to me to create art that brings light, a smidge of sunshine and ultimately - more joy into the world. My work is meant to inspire you, make you feel deeply - and bring a smile to your face.
04
Awaken Feelings
I pour a lot of love and good intentions into my art. It is meant to inspire you, make you think, make you feel connected, and generate calm. I put a lot of heart into everything I do and hope it translates well into your world.
05
Nature Inspired
Nature is a HUGE part of my universe - it can be seen in everything I do all the way from finding inspiration to creating actual designs. I incorporate beautiful flowers, cute animals, calm waters, the highest mountains - and yes, even a common mud puddle. I am sure that it will draw you in, just like it does for me.
06
Bold & Colorful
My style is very bold and colorful - the more color the better. I enjoy many colors and all of the feelings that they bring to the party. One of my favorite things to do is to swatch new paint colors so that I can experience the richness, vibrancy and texture of each and every one.
07
Playful & Curious
I love to bring a playful and curious vibe to all of my work - bright colors, playful patterns, and creative expression that works together to bring a little joy into your world. I think this adds an element of surprise and wonder that brings out the little kid in all of us - join me to add a little fun to your everyday routine.
08
Endless Possibilities
Art should be hopeful and full of promise. I enjoy hand-drawn and hand-painted motifs, creating digital art and finding that perfect "match" that grabs you and never lets you go. The possibilities are endless...
09
Friends & Family
I draw inspiration from my family and friends - and yes, that includes my fur-babies. They bring endless joy and snuggles into my life. I try to capture those moments and they become the "heart behind my art".
