Teodora Guererra’s artistic vision deepened and evolved during her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color, while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired her to pursue dripping and staining techniques. She is strongly influenced by Pat Steir, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, and Wolf Kahn.
