To avoid groups congregating in enclosed spaces, it has been determined that the Ranch House at Agua Caliente Park, where my solo art exhibition was to be held from March 21, 2020, to April 22, 2020, will be closed. As with many of the closings currently taking place, the duration of this closure is as yet unknown.
I ask that if you have had an eye on any of my pieces, whether they were to be in my exhibition or not, please consider making a purchase. You have no idea how much it would mean to me. To sweeten the deal, I’m offering 20% off everything in my shop through March 31, 2020, with code “LOVE” – everything also already ships at no charge and most come framed and ready to hang.
I want to express my sincere thanks to Pima County Parks and Recreation for selecting me for this exciting opportunity. I appreciate their support as well as the gravity of this decision. They do wonderful work!
Stay safe, healthy, and happy, my friends. I’m sending you much love!

Teressa
With a goal to inspire others to explore the raw beauty of nature, artist Teressa Jackson captures the charm and color of the desert experience through stylized realism.
Watercolor Oasis
I was honored to be selected to show my artwork in a solo exhibition at Agua Caliente Park’s Ranch House Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, from March 21 to April 22, 2020. The title of this exhibition is Watercolor Oasis. The exhibit will span 88 linear feet of gallery space and includes 48 of my original works. I was one of ten artists to be selected to show at this venue in 2020.
This page features the artwork included in that exhibition. Of course, these paintings are best admired in person in the gallery space, so please plan to visit my show, too, if you are able!

Artist’s Statement
Safety and magic rarely intersect. I am often cautioned against hiking alone, but I never lack company when in the presence of saguaros, hoodoos, mountains, trees, and bees. The moments I spend by myself in nature are as important as the paint I use to coat my brushes, filling me with beauty, inspiration, wonder, and peace. Back in the studio, photographs never quite capture the enchantment or grandeur of my experience. My personal challenge as an artist is to create scenes that convey my perception of the world and transport the viewer to that magnificent moment made permanent.
About the Artist
Teressa Lynn Jackson was born in Enid, Oklahoma, and grew up in the Louisville, Kentucky, suburb of New Albany, Indiana. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art from Bellarmine University in 1998. Following graduation, Ms. Jackson spent a summer studying Byzantine mosaics and frescoes in Italy with the State University of New York.
Ms. Jackson enjoyed a fulfilling 15-year career in the Louisville-area not-for-profit sector prior to returning to her creative roots. In fall 2016, Teressa sold her home and most of her possessions and spent a year traveling, connecting with beautiful places and experiences and using those adventures to inform and relaunch her lifelong need to create. In late 2017, Teressa and her husband made their new home in the Sonoran Desert. Ms. Jackson’s work has been shown in a number of juried and non-juried art exhibitions over the past twenty-five years, and she has been the recipient of several awards for her artwork.
