Teresa is a mixed media artist, creating both sculptural and functional glass work, as well as photography based digital art and now experimenting with Cyanotype prints (inspired by her glass).
Her fused glass panels and vessels express her earlier textile background, made by using one off slumping moulds which have a fabric, flowing quality. Teresa’s more recent work continues to be imbued with a riot of colour and light, creating intricate patterns that burst out into a kaleidoscope of reflections and textures.
In her more figurative sculptural work, she ‘paints’ a glimpse of the human form that is simultaneously mysterious and revealing, but always with a story to tell, or moments trapped in time, which engage the viewer to make their own. Her work is often layered using many pieces or ‘pourings’ of glass to give a sense of depth and which seem to open a secret door into another more spiritual world, this is especially true in her sand cast glass sculptures. These ideas continue into her digital art images.
Teresa uses a variety of techniques including fusing and sand-casting glass, as well as combining glass with ceramics, photography and painting. She works from her studio in Harrow.
Teresa is a member of The Contemporary Glass Society (CGS), The Association of Polish Artists in Great Britain (APA), Just Glass Society (a committee member), Glass Art Society (GAS), Herts Visual Arts (HVA) Teresa exhibits widely with the societies of which she is a member, as well as having had her work selected by SWA, RMSA and RMS for exhibitions at the Mall Galleries. She is represented by Aubergine Arts, Mardleybury and Parndon Mill Galleries. Her work is in private collections in Japan, Poland, France and the US.
