How does one describe artist Teresa Beyer

At the age of 39 she studied commercial art and design at a local adult education center in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles, California where she found a gift in painting. Teresa then moved to Ventura California where she pursued a successful career in desktop publishing.

As an artist, Teresa often draws inspiration from nature, and color, which the desert, mountains, ocean and cities provide. She studied fine art at various Institutions where she devoted her concentration on watercolor. Next, Teresa heeded a sensible inner voice and turned fulltime to painting. She then earned local recognition in the coastal community of Ventura CA.

She has been accepted to various juried competitions and her work can be found in several private collections. Including a collection of paintings permanently displayed at the Pierpont Inn. Teresa was also the representing artist for the Historical Committee and sold prints and cards of her work at the Buena Ventura Museum in Ventura.

Recently, in October of 2009 she placed second in Watercolor at the Yavapai College Student Show. Her work has been on Good Morning Arizona and in local publications.

In December 2009 Teresa began her “painting a day” project and has completely enjoyed the freedom gained by painting small and often.
