Teresa Ascone portrays impressions of Alaska in a distinctive, romanticized style that captures its rugged beauty. Ascone images have appeared on the covers of magazines & catalogs, and collectors of her work range worldwide. An award-winning PBS-produced video, Landscapes of the Imagination-The Art of Teresa Ascone, honored her in 1988.
Teresa taught art techniques for more than twenty-five years, which led to a learning method using her two books, We’re All Artists: Watercolor for Everyone & Painting Pleasure: Adventures in Watercolor, along with The Ultimate Palette, for which she holds a design patent. Teresa created UAA’s Ultimate Watercolor Academy . The success of the academy resulted in her nomination for the UAA 2000 Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence. Teresa’s memberships include the prestigious Athena Society & she is profiled in Who’s Who in American Women. Her work is included in the Alaska Pacific University Permanent Collection.
Lately, Teresa’s artwork work has taken a whimsical turn with her fairy tales. Her second tale, Alaska Berry Fairies ~ Lizzie Scarlet, was released in 2010 and received the December 2010 Reviewer’s Choice Award at Midwest Book Review’s Children’s Bookwatch. In 2012, she started two lines that feature her work: Flowering Forest for landscapes & flowers, and Creatures of the Wild for her animal art.
She maintains her studio in the Matanuska Valley, where she writes, paints & creates pottery.
