Teresa Pooles distinctive blend of japonais and western influences is taken from a lifetime of random memories, dreams and thoughts, sometimes  which she has painted over the years and rearranged to bring an order out of chaos rather like a museum of her mind…

Coming from a rather rigid creative back ground of decorative art nowadays she likes to work organically  starting with an inky watery abstract flooding metal leaf and patinating , then taking the image to a more traditional composition .

She says she sometimes feel more a conductor in an orchestra of colour .. leading the paint but never completely in control of where it’s going .. but always in the hope that it leads to another magical world.

Poole’s work is a reflection of memories and emotions, of beautiful Japanese screens , places glimpsed or visited, sometimes in the flesh but often in the imagination. Producing a medley of vivid coloured but dream like   ethereal images  of floating running water and nature on glowing metal leaf and silks using inks , gesso and patination

Trained by designer Thomas Messel in the 1980s as a decorative painter  using traditional materials and methods on furniture and walls . She then moved to london where she worked on  the Japanese screens that completely changed her view on composition and art , translating the beauty of nature in a more understandable language.

She has painted murals and interiors internationally in Italy, Amsterdam , Ibiza, on the QE2 , France , extensively in the USA and in many hotels and private homes.

Work exhibited in New York agora gallery ,Prema gallery , Chelsea town hall, Red dot gallery , and ran a gallery in Vence south France. She exhibits at stroud open studios for the last 14 years and sit select textile festival . She now exhibits at liberation art gallery in Brighton and RWB View gallery . Her work is in many private collections from Australia to France to the U.K. ,  and in commercial hotels abroad and U.K. including calcot manor.
