Teresa Schippel Hales
Teresa Schippel Hales is a passionate printmaker specializing in photo etching, known for her evocative use of heavy contrast, shadows and silhouettes. Her work explores the interplay of light and dark, creating powerful, atmospheric pieces that invite viewers to explore the depths of the human experience.
Often starting with photographs, Teresa takes inspiration from nature. She enjoys the way sunlight forms shadows and silhouettes. She uses the reflections found in water, the dramatic and threatening light to create a unique visual drama in her prints.
Other work takes inspiration from functional, man-made objects. Teresa finds beauty in mundane objects, such as padlocks, keys, tools, bikes, tables and chairs. It is not just the forms and texture of the objects themselves, but the compositional qualities and relationship between positive and negative that fascinate Teresa.
Teresa’s work continues to captivate audiences with its striking visual narratives and technical excellence.
