Theresa Rankin: A Persevering Painter

"I look at things as shapes of color and light; therefore I am happy to paint anything that stirs my heart and mind. I strive for a mix of realism and looseness I find emotionally and visually satisfying. Life gets in the way of my painting often but I persevere anyway."

Theresa Rankin
Carthage, Missouri, United States
I tell the story through shapes of color and light expressed with gestural brushwork and a solid design. The subject matter is unimportant...it is a subtle mixture of mystery, longing, light, beauty and a bit of unreachability that gives me the emotional reaction that in turn inspires me to paint.
