Build confidence in color mixing, blending, movement and composition. Bio: Meet Theresa People ask her all the time, “Can you teach someone like me? I’ve never painted before… I’m not artistic”. Her answer remains the same: “Absolutely.” She loves working with individuals new to art. Theresa believes art changes lives because it changed hers. Before becoming a full-time watercolor artist and instructor, she earned her BFA in Industrial Design from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Theresa spent years designing in the automotive industry and stepped away from her career to raise her three amazing children (age10,12,15) – a decision that ultimately led her back to her first love, painting. Today she finds herself grateful to be an internationally recognized award-winning watercolor artist. A member of several watercolor societies, and instructor who has the privilege of teaching hundreds of students of every age and experience level. Despite the awards and recognition, she still considers herself a student first. Theresa has been fortunate to study with remarkable artists including Hieu Nguyen also known as Kelogsloops, Agnes Cecile, Jill Stefani Wagner and Roselyn Rose, and other inspiring artists from around the world. Every mentor expands her artistic vocabulary and serves as a kind reminder growth never ends. That spirit of curiosity is exactly what she hopes to share with every student who joins her. Theresa’s hope is that you will leave with not just beautiful paintings, but renewed confidence, lifelong friendships, and the quiet realization that you were capable of far more than you ever believed.
