Current Exhibit

Teresa Fuller Kenton

Originally from West Virginia, Teresa was already painting by age 13. Professional mentors, private and college instruction led to commissions and exhibitions across the state by age 18.

After moving to Georgia in 1990 with her two sons, she focused on corporate commission work and murals. In more recent years, she has once again picked up colored pencils and turned her brush back to the canvas with enthusiasm and a deep look into the world around us. This can be seen in her impassioned bird and animal pieces, “giving voice to these that have none,” she said in a recent interview. Teresa’s love of our animal kingdom has led to her most current body of work, “Are We Not Stewards,” highlighting animals that are all but forgotten, misunderstood, or on the endangered list.

“Whether it is due to the illegal pet and fur trade, poaching for exotic skins, ‘magic elixirs’ or ivory, poisoning from pesticides, lead or plastic, or due to habitat loss from illegal or bad logging practices, deforestation, urban sprawl, or palm oil harvest, the loss of an entire species because of man’s greed is unacceptable to me.” Teresa celebrates these incredible, voiceless creatures with her art and, to give back, she donates her work to animal advocacy auctions when possible.

Teresa has exhibited across the southeast and is a member of several art alliances in the Atlanta metro area. This is her first solo exhibit.

When not wielding a brush, she can be found working on illustrations for her upcoming children’s book, working in her Snellville garden with her two large & loyal doggies, or travelling with her supportive and patient husband, Bobby.
