Teresa Smith
B.A., Visual Arts, Naropa University

Informed by a naturalist philosophy, Teresa’s art combines a richness of oil paint and contemplative practice. Growing up in rural eastern Canada instilled a sincere and intimate love of deep woods. Years of riding horses and hiking through old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest inform her work. Influenced by Tom Thomson and the group of seven, Emily Carr, and Brian Rutenberg, she paints the soul in nature.

Teresa graduated from Naropa University with a contemplative arts degree. She exhibits her abstract landscapes in the US and Canada.  Teresa’s work is featured in magazines, books and articles. Her paintings are included in private and corporate collections around the world.

Teresa lives on a small island with her animal family and giant fir trees. The beautiful view from her studio is Mount Baker and the Salish Sea.
