Teresa Schroder                              back to gallery artists

Being born and raised in Oklahoma, Teresa has held the love of the country close to her heart, both in her art and in her way of life.

Teresa began her art career while in high school. Her art teacher, Dee Maddox encouraged her to enter many art shows and competitions. This brought her many awards including a college art scholarship. While still in high school she was hired by an art studio to teach classes to thirty plus students.

She majored in Art at the University of Central Oklahoma and paid her way through college working at the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Heritage Center, and through commission work. During her senior year she began working in commercial art and design which led to magazine publication.

Teresa is married to a native Coloradoan and they have two children. Before moving to Colorado, she and her family lived in the Osage Hills of Oklahoma. Leaving her home state was a difficult move, but she soon settled in and was awed by the beauty of the Colorado landscape. Becoming involved in the Art Students League of Denver and meeting fellow artists gave her a solid connection with the art community there.

Teresa has continued her art studies with Kim English, Robert Spooner, Mark Dailey, and Evelyn Martinez; plus, through workshops with Jerry Yarnell (noted PBS artist), and pastel artist, Bruce Gomez. She is a member of Oil Painters of America and teaches classes from her studio, “Aspen Arts Studio & Gallery”, in Conifer, CO. Her work has been accepted in the 2006 “Salon International” show hosted by The International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art.

Her work has been shown in various galleries including RL Foster Gallery, Denver. She is currently represented by KD Moore Gallery, Evergreen CO., and exhibits in invitational shows. Her work is in private and public collections including the Tulsa Trust Authorities, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
