| Personal Bio |
Teresa Ascone portrays impressions of nature in a distinctive, romanticized style, featuring colorful flowers, animals, and landscapes. An award-winning PBS-produced video, Landscapes of the Imagination-The Art of Teresa Ascone, honored her in 1988. Teresa taught watercolor for more than 35 years, which led to her two books, We’re All Artists: Watercolor for Everyone and Painting Pleasure: Adventures in Watercolor, and The Ultimate Palette, for which she holds a design patent. Teresa created UAA’s Ultimate Watercolor Academy. Its success resulted in her nomination for the UAA 2000 Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence. Since 2010, her teaching has taken her to many foreign ports as she teaches watercolor on cruise ships. Her watercolor tutorials are available at Etsy.com. In 2008, Teresa’s artwork took a whimsical turn with her Alaska fairy tales. Her second tale, Alaska Berry Fairies ~ Lizzie Scarlet, received the December 2010 Reviewer’s Choice Award at Midwest Book Review’s Children’s Bookwatch. Teresa has ventured into design and licensing her work; Denali Dreams, McGowan Manufacturing, Sandstone Creations and Mill Wood Art produce her images on soap, lip gloss, tempered glass kitchen art and gift shop items. Her Creatures of the Wild animal designs were licensed to Robert Kaufman Fabrics, and saw great success in the northwest market. A new fabric line, Wildflowers by Teresa Ascone (manufactured by Clothworks), was released in Alaska April 2016. Teresa is now with P & B Textiles with a new collection, Nature's Garden, released in April 2018. See http://www.teresaascone.com for more information.
