News and Musings of artist Teri Starkweather

American Art Collector Magazine, Jan 2011    I am featured in the January issue 2011 of American Art Collector Magazine. the article is titled: "Everlasting Objects: Still Life Art Today". The text about me states on page 88:

    Teri Starkweather's paintings are based on still life themes she composes in either watercolor or oil. One of her main objectives is to create dramatic lighting for interest and to set the mood of each painting. her works usually have a mood of celebration or curious whimsy, but they always have a fascination with light.

    She has traditionally painted floral arrangements set up in front of a window where the flowers and objects were bathed in light, and glass vases and petals were backlit by the sunlight pouring in from the outside. Some of her other paintings are void of flowers and consist mainly of transparent objects such as glass bottles and plastic triangles set up where the sunlight produces long dramatic shadows and many reflections.
