“Good afternoon! My name is Maria Kline and I’m the proud visual arts teacher at Ninos Heroes Elementary in Chicago. During March (Women’s History Month) my 1st and 2nd grade students were learning about different women artists and I stumbled across you during research. My students used your lovely work to compare and contrast landscapes, and created mountain river scenes by combining their favorite elements. They got so into it that we spent weeks on making different landscapes. I just wanted to send you a little thank you for the inspiration, the kids loved your artwork! Best wishes,“ — Maria Kline, Visual Arts Teacher Ninos Heroes Elementary, Chicago, IL
“Hi Teresa I am writing all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. I just love your site; thank you for all you make available. Being an artist myself (not professional), I found the information extremely valuable and what a joy to look at your artwork. There are many, many questions I wish I could ask you (over many cups of coffee!), but I was wondering if you have a newsletter? I am not on Facebook or any other social network, but if that is the only other way to be exposed to your work, I will try my best to learn that skill. Once again, thank you for what you are willing to share.” — Adele, Cape Town, South Africa

I love how real your paintings look. They look like they were taken with a camera. I especially like the clownfish one. How it’s coming up out of that plant. It reminds me of Finding Nemo.” — Tylee K.

Feedback From Art Galleries
“I went to your website and took a look at your work. Very nice. There is a definite peaceful and devotional feel to your religious pieces. I bookmarked your website. One day we plan on expanding into art that is more traditional and realistic. If you still have your website, I’m sure we will be in touch.” — Susan Hooks, Director of White Stone Gallery
Fellow Artists Give Feedback
“You’re art is Wonderful!! Thank you for sharing it. I love all mediums. I do think that watercolors are the hardest, still trying to accomplish it. It hates me..lol. I LOVE charcoals and OILS. You have a special gift for OILS. They come easy for you. Your strokes are calming. Don’t ever stop, even though parental jobs make us stop, and also jobs and other responsibilities. Thanks for your wonderful art. Never stop.” — @barbara51, Gab

I find it poetic. Very romantic but a bit dramatic which makes it more interesting.” — Carmen U., San Juan, Puerto Rico
“I came across your site this A.M. and was delighted with your story of you and your father. How much we owe to loving parents! I have been painting watercolor for 20 years now, but am always interested in the principles of design and was thrilled to see how much info. you are offering freely, as your father gave freely to you of his life. I especially love your painting of Heceta Head Lighthouse as I live just 15 min. down the road from there. You have captured it beautifully. I have put it in as one of my screen savers, so I can see it every day. Thank you for blessing the world with your gift.” — Mae P., Florence OR
“I just visited your website for the first time today. You have created some very lovely paintings. I am new to the ‘art world.’ I’m 44 years old and had never picked up a paintbrush (other than to paint a room in my home) until this past summer. I found a passion that I never knew I had. I appreciate all of the information that you’ve so freely given on your website. I have your site marked as one of my favorites and will be visiting often. Thanks a bunch! Best wishes for a successful future!” — Marty M., Kentucky

“Often when I have my morning coffee I will search the net for artists. I oil paint.

You are an inspiration to me.” — Patricia B., Pontiac MI
“I enjoy art making and am presently working in soft pastels on still life subjects.

Anyway, keep painting, you obviously have the talent and skill.” — Arnold I., Saskatoon SK, Canada
“I admire your work and I think it’s wonderful to have the ability to help others achieve their business goals.

“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD
