About the Artist
ABOUT
Teresa Elliott is an American realist painter living and working in her desert studio in West Texas. Today, she is best known for portraits of bovines and figurative paintings immersed in the natural rural environment in the Southwest. Her studio sits on a bed of ancient lava rock looking over a vast old ranch. Wandering javelina, deer and turkey are frequent visitors at her studio reminding her of her favorite quote from John Muir, "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it connected to the rest of the world."?
