Teresa was born in New York in June of 1960. Shortly after her birth, she and her family moved to the suburbs of New Jersey.
As a child, Teresa was drawn to the physical world - she was either tumbling in gymnastics, pirouetting in ballet or painting and sculpting in art class. At home, Teresa could be found taking apart numerous alarm clocks and anything else that was screwed together to see how it worked. Sometimes they still worked after being reconstructed but her talent and interest in crafts were where she excelled.
Teresa has always been a free thinker, discovering early that everything can be made better with a bright idea and some paint and brushes. In her twenties, Teresa's independent spirit brought her to Colorado and then New Hampshire which gave her the opportunity to nurture her creativity.
In 1993 Teresa discovered that Stained Glass was the ultimate medium for her. Over the past ten years or so, she has become an accomplished, award winning Stained Glass artist.
After the loss of her own cat, Wicker, she transformed her sorrow into art by creating urns. She now dedicates herself to her company, Glass Dream Source where she can share her respect for animals and her unique talent with other animal lovers.
(Teresa continues to explore the possibilities of glass in Lampworking and glass sculpture.)
