My name is Tessa.
Be yourself, and you will be appreciated.
I've been through some pretty terrible things that have completely changed me and my way of thinking. (I can also say without hesitation that I lost a few brain cells along the way. They will be missed..)
Sometimes I wish I was how I used to be, other times I'm thankful to be who I am today.
I enjoy painting quite a bit. For me, painting is so great because I can so easily make a stroke of paint into anything - an emotion, an image, a memory, a subtlety. I'm a huge fan of doing photography, but unfortunately have no camera, and haven't for quite some time.
I will use anything I can get my hands on to make art. Art can be anything, and anything can be art.
My favorite forms of art (be it a painting, a photograph, a movie, or music) is the type of art that can be seen in many different ways. I think art is what you think it is.
Current Residence: A very small town in Minnesota. It is filled with strange people who give me funny looks. I thought I was over that kind of thing after getting out of high school, but apparently these things still exist in strange, small towns like this one.
P.S. I do apologize about the lack of artwork on my page. The last time I uploaded anything was almost six years ago. Since then, I have evolved as a person, and as an artist. I hope to share with you my change - once I have a way to get my works onto the computer and website, that is. :)
