Teresa Booth Brown

Teresa creates paintings and drawings that manipulate appropriated print material from a variety of sources. Her abstract paintings start with a simple collage composition and then are developed by the addition and subtraction of multiple layers of paint. In working she meditates on the arrangements and carefully reworks elements by adding and removing until form, color, and line come together. What emerges and what stays hidden are both important in creating relationships of color, shape, and texture. She wants to surprise the viewer and to give a new and unexpected experience.

Teresa Booth Brown lives and works in her home studio on a farm in Colorado. In addition to showing, teaching, and working as an arts advocate she has been a fellow at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, a resident artist at The Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and a twice a resident at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming. In 2012 she was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome. She is currently part of the faculty at Anderson Ranch.
