I have painted portraits since I can remember - well before art school. And even though my father insisted that I study graphics at art school (so I could get a job), I 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 me and I'm never happier than when interpreting what I see onto the canvas.
Oil on Canvas 24" x 20"
Feel free to contact me for a free and informal conversation, if you are interested in discussing the possibilities of a commission of you or a loved one (maybe someone special who has passed?). I mainly paint head and shoulders, as it is faces that most intrigue me. I paint in oils, using mainly palette knives. You can see my prices on the 'Commissions' and 'About the Artist' Pages
This client said on receiving her portrait:
"The last three years have held some big challenges ... Tessa, you have reminded me of the light behind my eyes and I can see how far I've come along this path when I look at this painting in a way that I can't when I look in the mirror. So thank you, dear Tessa, for capturing my spirit and helping me to see things in a bigger way through the medium of paint and your inspirational creativity!' Below you can see me, together with my husband Markus, talking about one of our exhibitions together.
