Meet the artist

Teresa MacGregor began studying art as a teenager, learning about perspective, shapes, and light from a prominent local artist in her native Hong Kong. She began oil and plein air painting at her studio and local seashores and fishing villages during high school.

After graduating from college, however, her career as a computer programmer - which eventually led to a role as a successful IT manager for one of the world's largest investment firms - granted her little time to pursue art.

Her passion for the arts never faded, however, and since retiring from the corporate world, Teresa has been studying silk painting with some of the country's top artists.  She also adopted the Gluck Method to advance her drawing and oil painting skills. Occasionally she also does some pastel work.

An avid traveler, Teresa has always drawn inspiration from different cultures around the world.  Her other passion, women's fashion, is reflected in the design of her hand-painted silk scarves: rather than aimlessly follow the latest trends, these one of a kind pieces are rooted in timeless, classic styles without sacrificing personality or uniqueness.

Teresa has been a member of the Orange County Fine Art Association since 2017. She regularly exhibits and sells her work online and at the Showcase and Bear Street Galleries in Santa Ana, California.
