Bio
Teresa McCallum has been immersed in art her entire life, initially, influenced by her grandmother and mother, who were both artists. Teresa’s grandma was her first art teacher when she a young girl.
Although always involved in art, she spent most of her adult life as a mental health practitioner and used art as one of her therapeutic tools. She and her clients have created several paintings for mental health homes and facilities.
Teresa is torn between two cities: Vancouver, where she was raised and Calgary, where she raised her family. Her art reflects her love of both cities. Textured emotion-driven abstracts are her favourites, but she also loves painting quirky contemporary trees, florals and scenery.
Teresa loves spending time with family and friends, her pup Murphy, walks in the woods, the sights and sounds of the ocean, and painting the emotions tied to her favourite people, places and things.
