Teresa Rosalie Roberts is a graphic artist and oil painter whose work beautifully bridges the worlds of traditional and digital art. With a deep passion for nature, her art often explores the vibrant personalities of animals and the serene beauty of landscapes. Teresa’s giclee prints, which focus on birds and animals in a portrait style, are infused with a sense of movement and life, while her oil paintings of landscapes evoke a tranquil connection to the natural world.
Originally from Oklahoma, Teresa studied art while serving as a National Park Service ranger, and it was during this time that her appreciation for nature deepened. Afterward, she honed her skills in graphic art independently, developing a strong foundation in both traditional mediums like oil and watercolor and digital art. Teresa finds inspiration in the work of renowned artist Charley Harper, particularly his ability to distill complex subjects into simple, bold shapes that give his art movement and personality.
A former art teacher, Teresa has a profound love for sharing her knowledge, especially helping students discover how art works and how they can express their own creativity. Through her work, Teresa seeks to bring joy to others by capturing the beauty and quirky personalities of the animals she paints, encouraging viewers to reconnect with nature and appreciate its wonders.
Her practice continues to evolve, exploring how the fundamentals of traditional art can be translated into the digital realm. Whether through oil, watercolor, or digital design, Teresa's work celebrates the freedom and versatility of artistic expression.
