"To Paint is one of the most exciting and fulfilling things to do!"

Tessa has painted portraits since she can remember - well before art school. And even though her father insisted that she study graphics at art school (so she could get a job later), she would study graphics during the day at Chelsea School of Art, then go home and paint portraits at night - and often all night! People's faces fascinate her and she's never happier than when interpreting what she sees onto the canvas. Recently Tessa has seen her graphics background emerge in her 'imaginary portraits', which you can see on the page 'other paintings'. They are paintings that Tessa has painted from her memory of the many faces she has studied and enjoyed throughout her life. Many of the paintings on the following pages are for sale. Please contact Tessa for details. Also do contact Tessa if you are interested in commissioning her to paint you or a loved one - she mainly paints head and shoulders, as it is faces that most intrigue her. She paints in oils, using either brushes or palette knives - your choice. Below you can see Tessa and her husband Markus talking about one of their exhibitions together. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Tessa. |
