Art by Teresa Palomar
My Story
Despite her parents’ protestations to the contrary, claiming that her birth was in 1954, Teresa Palomar arrived on this earth as a fully-grown adult in 1983, while she was teaching English in the Baltimore City Public Schools. She went on to teach every grade level from pre-kindergarten to community college, and subjects ranging from English to reading readiness to social studies to high school mathematics. Teresa’s retirement has been filled with pleasure, knowing that classrooms had to endure COVID-caused restructuring and increased high-stakes testing without her.
As for her artistic endeavors, she has no favorite medium and has been known to dabble in oil, acrylic, pastels, watercolor, charcoal, graphite, dryer lint, and corncobs, with subjects ranging all over the map. Her studio is filled with wonderful objects and ideas, and Teresa’s wife wishes she would organize it and get back to painting, but the studio is cold this time of year. Perhaps when spring arrives, there will be a return to artistic endeavors, although most would agree that social media and Hulu are wonderfully distracting.
If you’d like to contact Teresa to commission a portrait of your own father-in-law (or your sister, half-cousin, or mother’s best friend’s cat), she can be reached at:
Or on Twitter at @TeresaPalomar1
(She was also @TeresaPalomar, but forgot her password, and had to open a whole new
Identity.)
She’s also on Facebook as (no kidding) Teresa Palomar.
