Teresa Fernandez is an Australian visual artist who finds inspiration in everyday life, preferring to work with subject matter that is easily accessible. Teresa paints botanicals, still lifes and tablescapes which often feature plants from her neighbourhood, mid century vases from her collection or table settings that hark back to the past. Her work often has a sense of nostalgia and her Spanish heritage and love of coffee also feature. Curiosity and experimentation are significant motivators; she is more interested in discovery than settling into one form of artistic expression.
