Teresa Posyniak creates beautiful textured paintings and sculptures which explore themes of vulnerability and resiliency in nature and contemporary society. Her latest series draws attention to plankton, a diverse group of marine organisms that are responsible for producing over half the earth’s oxygen, but whose well-being is threatened by human activity.
Calgary-based artist Teresa Posyniak holds degrees in literature and drama as well as a BFA in painting/printmaking and MFA in sculpture and is an avid advocate for women, children and the environment. Over the course of her 35-year career, she has worked in materials as diverse as steel, wood, concrete, handmade paper and felt, oil and encaustic to create everything from room-sized installations to intimate drawings. Her work has been exhibited widely in private and public galleries, including a solo show at the Glenbow Museum in 2010.
