Teresa (pronounced Ta-res-sa), is an artist and freelance graphic
designer. Art has been a massive part of her life since the eighth grade
after joining the art club at her elementary school. From this resulted
in being apart of a mural that graced the window of Marshall Fields, and
now is permanently placed in the Cook County Juvenile Correctional Center.
Even in high school, Teresa majored in Media Arts, and
was blessed to participate in creating a mural that now rest in the halls
of Curie Metro High School. With canvas in hand, expression in heart, she
created various pieces with acrylics, oils, and watercolor. Many moons
and sunsets later, Teresa still use art to create visually. Now, it is
rare that she uses the conventional media of paint, but the main media is
to use the computer to construct illustrations.
When words cannot explain/express a brush, pen, or
other media can show the world why her eyes twinkle, or what gives her
face a special rose glow. Most times, she is known to be very quiet and
aloof, but her art can speak volumes. Art holds a special place in her
heart; and she wants to capture that feeling on a mere piece of paper.
