Water color artist, Teresa Walsh, has been drawing children
all her life. Her illustrations capture the magical point of view that is the essence of childhood. Teresa's work truly reflects the
rich cultural heritage of children around the world. Using her own children and her children's friends and neighbors as models,
she has created numerous products for such organizatons as UNICEF, Boys and Girls Clubs, the YMCA and Save the Children.
Teresa, was one of the first illustrators to depict children of color and children of different abilities in the commercial market. "I believe I was the first to paint a wheelchair bright blue with racing tires!" says Teresa, who started the "Children of the World" line of greeting cards in the 1980s.
In 1999, Teresa teamed up with her partner, graphic designer, Miriam Lisco of Walsh Design (Miriam is Teresa's good friend and sister-in-law). Together they've transformed Teresa's art into puzzles, rubber stamps, paper dolls stickers and more.
Teresa works in her home studio with her dog Daisy by her feet. Her cat Tam helps out by adding muddy paw prints to fresh paper.
