- My Story-
 

Hi, I’m soo glad you’re here. I’m Tessa, an Intuitive Abstract Landscape Artist based in the Adelaide Hills. I am a big lover of colour and exploring unexpected colour pallets that contrast and bring new life to a composition.

My heart has always been in the visual arts spectrum. After completing a Bachelor of Visual Communication I began a Graphic Design Internship with a sustainable design company. It was there I discovered that I wanted to get away from the computer screen and work with her hands, having always been passionate about spatial design.

I decided to further her studies and made the trek over to Melbourne to study Visual Merchandising & Styling. After completing the course, I landed a job as a Designer & Project Manager for Melbourne a 3D branding agency and quickly progressed to Studio Manager within the company. Designing, managing projects, clients and staff, I learnt a range of life long skills that would translate into starting my very own creative business.

At the end of 2018 I moved back to Adelaide to be closer to family and worked in Property Styling and transitioned back in the exhibitions & events industry and had pursued art as a side business until very recently.

In 2020, personally and professionally things took a bit of a turn. Not only did the events industry completely shut down, I had a health scare and was told to try and reduce stress as much as possible. Art has always been my love and as of March 2022 I decided to go full time with my art practice and give it the energy it deserves.

I mostly paint large scale acrylic on canvas pieces and have just begun dabbling in the urban art scene, painting murals around Adelaide and absolutely loving it.
