Artist’s Statement
For this exhibition, my artworks are based on my experiences and encounters with memorable moments from both my childhood and a recent family holiday at the beach. I have chosen mixed media with an emphasis on texture for these coastal artworks. The temptation to touch an artwork makes it all the more special.
Biography
Terese Eglington studied ceramics and art at high school and continued to learn various crafts as personal hobbies, including painting, wood carving and lead light. A return to painting and learning the techniques required with various art media has gone from hobby to passion. Combining a love for painting and an interest in poetry and writing, Terese has created several children’s books, the illustrations from which have been exhibited in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
Influences
Influenced by the impressionists, my art style focusses on movement, mood, colour and the play of light.
