About the Author
Tesia Blackburn has been a working artist in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 25 years. She received her BFA from the Academy of Art in 1984, studied lithography at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1990 and received her Master's of Art in 1992 at John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California."I am passionate about the formal tools of art; line, shape, color, form, texture and light. I often work in series, taking inspiration from music, architecture, the world around me. I will usually work with one or two of the formal tools during an entire series of 20 to 50 paintings. The goal of my work is to capture the harmony and beauty in these seemingly simple elements and reflect that back to the viewer. My paintings are built up of many, many layers of paint with an eye to translucent color and luminosity and a thirst for strong design."
