Artist’s Statement:  With my art, I seek to capture a state of grace or essence of being. My creative expression is inspired by the symbolic, and from the beginning, my art has always had strong symbolic messages. The meaning is never revealed in the making of an individual piece, but appears later within a greater context.

Discovering a mesmerizing marriage of the texture and color of gemstones and glass, my wearable Talismans highlight the juxtaposition of nature's beauty with the human artistic object. The unique energy of each Talisman mirrors the unearthed potential available to womankind. These Talismans protect and enhance the wearer’s transformative capacity, while communicating her true essence. As such, these Talismans reflect the amazing possibilities we have as women.

About the Artist:

Theresa studied art at Naropa University. She has been expressing her unique creativity and art through her dress and jewelry all of her life, accented with her unusual and beautiful necklaces. In 2006 as she moved from Colorado to Arizona, she closed her painting studio and redirected her highly developed sense of color and texture into making one-of-a-kind, gemstone art that can now be worn by others. Searching for the inherent aesthetic harmony within a piece, she looks for that special chemistry when certain colors or shapes are juxtaposed, revealing an amazing combination of elegance and simplicity.
