Teresa Elliott

As a native Texan, Elliott graduated from The University of Kansas after receiving a B.A. in Fine Arts. In 1976, she worked as a forensic sketch artist for the Lawrence, Kansas, Police Department. She then returned to her native Texas working as a leading freelance illustrator in Dallas. Word of her talents spread quickly after her figurative art appeared in projects for Neiman Marcus. “I have many years of art experience, so my development as an oil painter was fueled by working with the figure, portraiture and design,” says Elliott. She has since returned to her fine art roots, dedicating herself exclusively to her studio practice.

Elliott lives in the mountains north of Big Bend National Park in Alpine, Texas.
