About Me

​Teresa Maria Persaud is a self-taught contemporary artist from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Formerly an elementary school teacher,  the pull to pursue painting could not be ignored.(channeling her Dutch heritage of artists!) 

Teresa paints in acrylic and oil, adding mixed media, collage and mark making elements to her art . Teresa's work merges complex colours with contrasting elements to create unique and compelling pieces. Teresa's qualifications and education include a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education, and an Art Success Masters Program. ​Her work has been seen and sold in several exhibitions: The Gallery in the Grove, Brights Grove, Ontario, as well as the Society of Canadian Artists 2025 Exhibition, and the Jackalope Gallery in Toronto, Ontario. 

Teresa's paintings, whether non-representational or semi-abstract landscape or still life reflect the process of intuitive mark-making and merging layers of complex and contrasting elements to tell the story within.
