Hello!Â
My name is Teresa Rae Treen [Teresa R T] and I am a Visual Artist and Musician based in Nova Scotia, Canada. I specialize in vibrant acrylic paintings on canvas, and am an avid pianist and guitarist.
My involvement in the creative world has been life-long (through painting, writing, and making music), and was self-instructed until I completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Visual Arts, in 2019. I have also been guided by an exponential thirst for knowledge, which ultimately led to my enrollment in a Bachelor of Science, also in 2019. My interest in a variety of subjects is clear not only in my education, but also in the style of my work: although many of my pieces are objectively rooted in music, I have a wide range of still-life, landscape, and abstract work as well.Â
Colour and vibrance are the driving components in my pieces, and I tend to lean into the tones that invoke an emotional response. I am also greatly passionate about music, and have been playing songs by ear since I was 5 years old; because of this, my work draws largely from the essence of musical expression. Although not every painting pays homage to the music world, my palettes almost always reference the vibrant hues of stage lighting and concert performance.
My work can be found all across North America, including in 9 Canadian Provinces and over 10 American States.
My body of work consists primarily of acrylic paintings on canvas.
Click here for a comprehensive gallery of all of my original paintings. Some of these pieces are for sale, and some have sold. All paintings were created between 2019 and 2025.
My work has been featured in multiple solo and group exhibits, as well as other public displays.
Many of my paintings can be found across North America. Click here for more information on my past and current exhibitions.
I have had the pleasure of working with various artists, small businesses, and other organizations. Click here to learn more about my collaborative work.
