About
Hello, I´m Teresa Henry, I´m an artist, graphic designer and teacher.
I have always drawn and painted or worked in a creative environment. Art to me is a means of self discovery and expression, I find joy in the art making process that for me continually evolves. It keeps me constantly entertained as there is always something more to learn and another perspective to explore. I can´t imagine ever stopping.
​
I produce contemporary, expressive and impressionistic watercolours. Inspired by my design skills, motorhome travels, memory, imagination and, I must admit, a slightly obsessive constant desire to keep learning. This trait has showed up a natural path for me, sharing my knowledge by teaching it to others, bringing me no end of joy!
Trained in Interdisciplinary Design at Berkshire School of Art and Design (UK), I built a successful 20+ year career as a graphic and digital designer.
​
After having children my focus shifted away from art and design and I retrained as a nutritional therapist running a successful practice and then relocating to Spain. However my love for design and art never left me and I returned to my artistic roots.
My love for watercolours began with a decision to leave our apartment and get to know our new country by buying a motorhome and go traveling with my family. I got to see, experience and paint so many wonderful things made possible with the motorhome. We are now settled back in a house but the memories are still a consistent source of inspiration for my paintings and this experience has changed the course of my artist life. We still go off every now and then for me to get my peace and nature fix and spend time as a family.
​
I maintain a studio and art school visitable by appointment at my town house in the heart of Alhaurin El Grande, in Southern Spain. I teach in-person art classes where I share my skills and perspectives on creativity.
