About Teresa Satterthwaite
I have not always led the life of an artist but I have always had an artistic life. For many years I worked in other industries and looked after my children. However for the last 25 years since my art degree, I have been a practicing artist, gallery owner, tutor, set designer and had an interest and worked in numerous crafts like mosaics and cross-stitch. I have sold my paintings and worked to commission and had a near sell-out show at the Herrick Gallery in Piccadilly in 2017. Then in 2018 I did an MA in Philosophy at Birkbeck College, London that has informed my thinking and art ever since.
