Teresa Elliott Works

Alpine, TX

"I’ve always enjoyed conjuring my own realities in paint. Once the bones of a painting are in place the sweeping landscapes, epic bovines and calves are all there to entice me to capture them in situations that I would gladly trade places with. I paint them as I see them, living in the moment, casually exchanging a glance with a visitor who may pick up on the operatic atmosphere I strive for. My visual storytelling for the west is one I hope many will enjoy where this 'Home On the Range' has skies that may be 'cloudy all day.'"

Key exhibits of Elliot's include the 2014 Art Hamptons Art Fair in Bridgehampton, NY; the American Realism exhibit at the World Art Museum in Beijing, China; the Butler Institute of American Art; and seven years at the Coors Western Art Exhibit resulting in five People’s Choice awards. Other honors include Chairman’s Choice from the Art Renewal Center’s International Salon; Best Of Show at the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night Of Artists; and Artist’s Choice at the 2008 Cowgirl Up! exhibit at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum.
