Wind Drawn | Theresa Gray

Artist Reception - Sunday, July 19, 3-5pm

Solo Exhibition—July 16-27

Capizzo | Saugatuck, Michigan

Living off-grid has taught me to pay attention. To the shifting light, the weather, the seasons, and the subtle rhythms that shape daily life. Living closely with these cycles, it’s impossible not to absorb them into the work.

Wind Drawn | Water Notes

Small paintings, large questions.

What remains when the water is gone?

Water is one of my painting materials.

Not just what goes onto the brush, but the water itself—the water we conserve, collect, and think about every single day living off-grid in the high desert of Northern New Mexico.

Create + Restore

Breath. Movement. Color.

A reset for body and mind.

Create + Restore is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect—with yourself and with your innate creativity.

You don’t need to be an artist.
You don’t need experience with movement or meditation.

Simply bring curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Artist Statement

Wind Drawn

I am always painting.
Not only when brush meets canvas.
When I walk to gather wood I am grounding, observing, inhaling my surroundings.
Taking in shadow, light, and color.
Marveling at the beauty, especially in the mundane.
Celebrating, mourning the intensity of life and death around me.
Being present is my work.
I cross a threshold when I create.
All that I have absorbed emerges through my hands.
My whole-body awareness expresses itself. The painting releases onto the canvas. Sometimes with strength. Other times with ease. Always with the promise of beauty.
There is balance in this exchange. Beauty in its authenticity.
I return, with deep reverence, to the land. Covered in dust. Lighter.

“We feel like there is a picture window in our home with a view of the most beautiful dune grass landscape beyond."

About Theresa Gray

I live my life in flow; it truly is a moving meditation.

My husband and I live in a handmade home near Taos, New Mexico. Living off-the-grid fastens us to the land. This dynamic high desert shapes my movement, expands my vision, and inspires my work.

I've been studying my environs and creating art for more than 30 years. My work is an internal conversation marked by curiosity. Work is not something I do when I arrive in my studio. The paintings travel with me when I sweep the floor, water the garden, light the fire. Connected to all that’s around me, my works flow onto the canvas . . . sometimes with effort. Other times with ease. Always the truth.
