Artist Biography
Teresa Booth Brown creates paintings and drawings that manipulate appropriated print material from a variety of sources. Her abstract paintings start with a simple collage composition and then are developed by the addition and subtraction of multiple layers of paint. In working she meditates on the arrangements and carefully reworks elements by adding and removing until form, color, and line come together. What emerges and what stays hidden are both important in creating relationships of color, shape, and texture. She wants to surprise the viewer and to give a new and unexpected experience.
In 2014, Brown made her first print at Shark’s Ink. Jacket, Bag, Dress, Watch, Ring has fragments of images taken from the pages of fashion magazines. Chosen for their abstract qualities, the images are digitally reproduced on mulberry paper and then layered with drawn lithographic plates. The title of the piece refers to the credits naming designer sources used in fashion photographs of clothing and accessories. Teresa Booth Brown has been a fellow at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, a resident artist at The Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and twice a resident at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming. In 2012 she was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome. She is currently part of the faculty at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Snowmass, Colorado.
