Sobre el Artista

Teresa Bass believes 'God created so many people for us to all meet'. Her journey began in 1960 in a tumultuous home in Detroit... and by 1974 she left home. In 1977, having no life-skills, she ventured out to discover all that the world had to offer. A true free spirit…she is fearless with a vivacious personality…and a love for all people. In 1978 she hitchhiked across America and ultimately landed on the streets of New Orleans in 1979. Her brief career in film took her to Los Angeles in 1984 and then off to London, England for 7 years, where she had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Europe. There she successfully curated a photographic exhibition, worked in film, and sold the concept of alternative 'customer service' through presentation boxes to the high-end British retail outlets and was privileged to enjoy a lengthy and special relationship with Ava Gardner, also Godmother to her son. Teresa credits her skills and knowledge to the vast majority of people that God placed in her path, the myriad of positions she has held from sales, film, photography, management, and Director of Development for a non-profit entity. She attributes much of her acquired expertise and accomplishments to her marriages with a computer analyst, a commercial photographer, an Italian, and her late best friend, a brilliant visionary. Her travels have given her access to some of the most famous, as well as the recent up and coming artists around the world. Teresa does not see people of color rather she sees the vibrant beauty in all colors, which is prevalent in all her work. She now enjoys creating and living near the beach in Bay St. Louis close enough to New Orleans and her twin daughter and first grandson and a appreciates the close yet long-distance relationship with her son who resides in the South of France.
