Teresa Watson
Gouache and tempera on wooden box
5 x 4.75 x 2.25 inches
$100
Born and raised in Texas, and educated at Pratt Institute, Teresa Watson, is an illustrator and painter living with schizoaffective disorder. Her comic "Welcome to the Covid-19 Mental Health Struggle" appeared in New York Times. She has exhibited paintings at La Luz de Jesus in Los Angeles and Hey There Projects, La Matadora Gallery, and Mincing Mockingbird in Joshua Tree California. Teresa has also painted numerous pet portrait commissions.
"I try to find humor in life. Because of my struggles with my mental health, my world has always been very chaotic and full of awkward moments. Painting things that don’t belong together makes me laugh, for example a man with a candle on his head, hallucinating looking in the trash while a frog sits nearby playing music. Dissimilar images juxtaposed together create a safe space to process confusing moments or triggering events. Other times I enjoy painting light hearted pictures of cowgirls with flowers or pet portraits which are less personal and just as liberating.”
This exhibition runs in the gallery until December 31st, 2021 and the gallery will be closed for the first couple weeks of 2022 for some much needed respite.
