Theresa is an intuitive abstract artist, creating vibrant art for memorable spaces. She specializes in mixed media, using acrylics, spray paint, ink, adhesives, and paper. Her work refuses to be contained and often extends beyond the edges of the canvas.

Theresa's process has her working on multiple pieces simultaneously, flowing from one canvas to the next with big athletic strokes. She often incorporates fluid art techniques and decoupage for layered effects. Preferring to work on a large scale, Theresa enjoys developing customized art for specific spaces and audiences.

Theresa believes color and shapes can inspire and energize and her goal is to make happy art that will make a space come to life and radiate positive energy.

Born in Sweden and emigrated to the US, where she is now a naturalized US citizen. (Source: adapted from artbytheresaraines.com)

Theresa's work can be found online and in several commercial buildings in the Triangle.

Sarah Cawn’s mission is to design and create beautiful, unique, and functional glass objects.
Initially using Tiffany stained glass techniques, Sarah has evolved into creating original fused glass works of art. Her innovative use of color, shapes and whimsical designs never fail to engage the viewer. She is fascinated by the captivating power of light’s interaction with glass, showing the beauty of the color spectrum. This quality has inspired her to explore many aspects of the glass medium and transform ordinary functional objects into unique innovative art treasures.

Sarah’s beautiful art objects incorporate unique colors and create a dance of light that delights viewers and collectors nationwide. (Source: sarahsglassart.com)

Autumn Cobeland is a painter, muralist, triathlete, and Raleigh native. She holds a degree in Fine Arts and studied art in Florence, Italy. Her prints and paintings can be seen in galleries, shops, and private collections both nationally and internationally. Autumn has created a series of paintings devoted to the Triangle Greenway System, and she donates a percentage of the proceeds from print sales to the support of local greenways. Her studio is located in Artspace in downtown Raleigh.

As an artist, Autumn's medium is paint. There is a term in the Japanese language “wabi sabi” it means (roughly) a celebration and appreciation for human-made objects that have imperfections. In our digital, computerized world, it is possible to create images to near perfection, clean lines, bright colors, and clear edges. Autumn is a painter, so the idea of spending hours in front of a computer to design her art is not nearly as appealing as playing with the color mixtures and placing brush to paper or canvas and developing some “wabi sabi” results.
