About the Judge
A native Californian and a Design graduate of The University of California at Davis, Teresa Steinbach-Garcia works in a painterly realistic style. Landscapes, Still Life, Figure and Intricate Design work are all fair game. Inspired by many artists, she combines her background in watercolor with pastels to capture the nuance of light & place, interpreting the man made and nature-made worlds. Teresa worked in both The Graphic Design and Fine Art realm before devoting much of her energy to raising a family on 5 acres in the rural countryside of Wilton, California, tutoring and instructing on a part time basis. With time to teach and explore, join art societies, participate in Plein Air Events and recently becoming a pupil again at Terry Miura’s Friday class she has embraced the challenging rich life of a full-time artist. She currently exhibits at Its Street Studio Collective in Winters Ca. She teaches both Pastel and Watercolor classes in the Sacramento Area, Mendocino and Paris. (Well, once in Paris!)
