Young, Teresa

Teresa Young is a Metis artist who was born on the west coast of Canada who is currently living in Nova Scotia. Her art style is very aboriginal with flowing colours, bold lines and vivid, complementary colour schemes. Teresa's handling of colours is quite unusual in their combinations and evokes a dynamic sense of movement, or even a watery wave-like feeling with abstracted patterns. The complex shading gives a 3D feeling that is not normally seen in native art. Influenced by a drawing style that she developed in childhood, her artworks are unique and appeal to a broad range of people
