Artist Biography:
Teresa’s statement
Inspiration for Teresa Poole's unique paintings can be credited to her past work as a fine-arts restorer, interior designer, and mural painter. She was emotionally moved by the sense of history in the antiques on which she worked, training which provided her with a lifelong respect for the stylistic traditions in visual arts of all historical periods. Teresa sees her own work metaphorically as a garden, and indeed whether portraying delicate sakura petals against a background of mustard-toned hillocks, Japanese-panel-inspired portraits, or applying gold leaf to trompe-l’oeil wall displays, her works are not only visually stunning, but resonant with her long emotional attachments as well.
Although their forms may hearken back to traditional Asian designs, these are highly personal works, displaying Teresa’s artistic choices, informed by her years of experience and love of all aspects of visual design. Her vibrant and daring mix of traditions and styles continues to bring forth radiant art that is a powerful hybrid of Western visual strategies and Eastern tranquility.
