TERESA ELLIOT








Teresa Elliott has lived in her native Texas for most of her life, and remembers a childhood "soulful connection" to animals that continues to this day. Entering a pasture full of longhorns has never been a stretch for Teresa. As a child, her grandfather's farm in Texas offered her the opportunity to observe cattle chewing their cuds while time slowed to a natural rhythm. "It became a place and time to know my subject in their entirety." Details were etched in her memory: the texture of their dusty fur, the glistening noses and large massive forms. All these memories were reawakened as an adult when she turned her attention to the Texas Longhorn. The horns of the beast were a beautiful new shape full of exquisite new details to relish in. Also, the abstract study of animal bodies as landscape and this connection to something limitless keeps the process forever interesting.
