Scotland4me.net are proud to introduce our readers to Teresa Doughty who for thirty years since leaving Art College has pursued her occupation as a professional artist, taking commissions, building up her stock of paintings, learning to do etching at the DCA, mounting exhibitions throughout the UK and marketing her work. Teresa is now having cards made from her paintings. You may wonder why Teresa's work is featured on our 'New Kids on the Block' page, our magzine is new and Teresa's work is new to the magazine. As Teresa says "my work is an attempt to achieve harmony, order and beauty through the resolution of conflict by the use of creativity. It is a search for meaning in a world which seems to present conflict and chaos. I see the limitation of traditional forms to explore a spiritual response to visual experience. In the last few years, beauty expressing a spiritual approach to the visual world was my aim, and exploring colour a way of doing this". She percieves there is an essence in the being of things and people that is living energy and is moving towards a bigger harmony. Teresa wishes to develop this in her painting. She tries to achieve an aesthetic harmony and colour in her work by using fairly traditional subjects in oils, etchings and watercolours. Flower studies and portraits are a speciality.
