Teresa Steinbach-Garcia
Join us on November 13th
Teresa Steinbach-Garcia will demonstrate her focus on marrying the flow of water and pigment onto the paper, conscious of the need to save out white space for later glazing and for edges that spark. “A good value study helps and really mapping out what my intention is before I start almost always makes for a better painting.”
Teresa is a local artist working in pastel and watercolor, often inspired by the bounty of the Sacramento Valley. A native Californian and a graduate of U.C. Davis, she brings a radiant, sensitive touch to her realistic works of art. After college, Teresa worked in both Graphic Design and Galleries in Northern California before devoting much of her energy to raising a family and honing her craft while living in the rural countryside of Wilton, California.
Inspired by artists as varied as Michael Reardon, Toulouse Lautrec, Lisbeth Zwerger and Kim Lordier, Teresa works in a painterly style using line, shape and color as a starting point from which to pull energy and capture a moment. She works in both Watercolor and Pastel, at times combining the translucency of one to complement the energy of the other.
Teresa is or has been a member of the California Watercolor Association, the Pastel Society of the West Coast, the Sacramento Fine Arts Center, W.A.S.H., and the California Art Club. (Sources: Inside Sacramento Magazine, November 2022; and Ironstone Heritage Museum Blogspot.)
