Growing up in the Brandywine Valley, Theresa was initially drawn to plein air and painting using acrylics and oils in the Brandywine Tradition. She took classes with Karl J. Kuerner through the Brandywine River Museum—painting at the renowned Kuerner Farm. After a few years of plein air classes, Theresa pursued private study with Mr. Kuerner. Under his tutelage she developed the confidence to try new mediums and subjects. It was only after discovering alcohol inks that Theresa developed her own voice. Always happy to share her joy of alcohol inks, Theresa now teaches and thoroughly enjoys when students are amazed at the work they create.
