Meet Your Instructor

For over two decades, Theresa Stirling has been collaborating closely with designers and collectors to make one-of-a-kind glowing pieces of artwork.

Self-taught, with a previous marketing career and Econ degree, Stirling made a considered shift to a more creative life. Once bashful about being self-taught, and near-sighted, both are now her passport to take risks. Her work becomes soft-focus and is the result of a fearless approach to painting. Stirling strives, pouring every little detail into each art statement-piece. Theresa’s art and her brand mirror her lifestyle: curated and grounded, with a luxury feel. The energy she imparts to each art piece is staggering and employs unique tools from torches to sticks and rags; the result is next-level luxury in textured look and feel. An Economics major, Stirling has even started online coaching courses teaching others how to grow small businesses creatively. Stirling loves to be outdoors for inspiration; out on a SUP, beach walks with dogs, and pickleball rank at the top for fun lately, followed by good food and chocolate. A portion of art proceeds goes to animal shelters and food banks.
