Teresa Ascone, lifelong Alaskan, portrays her impressions of her beloved homeland in a distinctive, romanticized style that captures the rugged beauty of the northern landscape as well as the delicate wonder of its flowers.

An award winning PBS video, Landscapes of the Imagination-The Art of Teresa Ascone, honored her in 1988. Ascone images have appeared on the covers of magazines, periodicals, prints, note cards, tapestry and tempered glass.

Teresa taught art for more than 25 years, traveling from Barrow to Dutch Harbor. Her teaching experiences led to her books, We’re All Artists: Watercolor for Everyone, and Painting Pleasure: Adventures in Watercolor. Teresa created UAA’s Ultimate Watercolor Academy, a community-based learning experience with safe, non-threatening atmosphere - a hallmark of her teaching style. The success of the academy and its art show resulted in her nomination for the UAA 2000 Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence.

Lately, Teresa’s artwork has taken a whimsical turn with her newest book, The Berry Fairies of Alaska. She maintains her studio in the Matanuska Valley, where she paints, writes new berry fairy stories, and practices her new passion: wheel thrown pottery.
