“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 Peter Halter 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.

Artist Statement | Theresa Gray

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, even 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.

I’m bursting with joy to unveil my current series of feather paintings.

Each painting comes embraced in a light-filled box that radiates beyond the frame. They look gorgeous anywhere: on your walls, bookshelves, and even displayed above photos and art adding a sacred touch of reverence.

These pieces reflect my ongoing journey to blend the physical and meditative aspects of painting.

In some of these works, you’ll notice feathers gently hovering over landscapes. This visual metaphor is inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem, Hope is the thing with feathers.

May these paintings bring a sense of joy into your life.
