About Teresa Pemberton

Teresa Pemberton responds to nature in a way which is directly connected to place and to ideas: the nature of landscape and the constructs within it; boundaries, objects, containers. She is interested in the language of figurative painting not in the sense of representation, but in the exploration of the inherent qualities of the paint itself as a material. Surface, texture and text are concerns that allow her to go beyond the visible and deal with memory, conversation and life.

Her current preoccupations are with the boundaries of water and earth. Boundaries of "what is" and "is not" are intresting to her because they are places where true meanings can lay: in the murky passages of mud and weed at the land's edge, or in the fusion of thoughts and objects within a landscape, revealing rather more personal memories than one initially feels about a place or time.

Her colour sense is " life enhancing and inspiring " according to her patrons, who range from serious collectors to interior designers who use her paintings to transform both small and enormous spaces.

She has exhibited regularly around the country and abroad, including at the Royal Academy summer exhibition and at the National Trust's Osterley Park house. Her work is in collections world wide including the Hotel de Ville, Nanterre, Paris, Bushey Museum & Art Gallery, One Aldwych, London, Champneys Hotel, Tring and many individual collections.

Teresa has recently moved to Cornwall which has always been a source of inspiration, and would be pleased to show you her studio and work by appointment. (Please leave your name and address via the enquiry form if you would like further information and invitations to exhibitions).
