Welcome to my art world. I'm Therese (Ter•race), an artist and credentialed high school Art teacher.
I believe art heals. I love playing with color, texture, layers, handmade books and intuitive collage.
Several years ago I found myself in a deep dark pit of depression. I used the "traditional" tools of therapy, diet change, exercise, and anti-depressents. I needed something more.
Creating art helps me slow down. When I get lost in the art process, I tune into my sensory experiences and shift out of a stressed state into a flow state. All my mind chatter fades away and I can tune into listening to my inner wisdom and following my heart.
I can teach you to make art you love, that uplifts and inspires you, even if you don't think you're creative or artistic.
