Teresa R Laurente Artist Statement

By Mayette/Teresa:   

My family thought I would be an architect  someday. At the age of seven (7), I draw and draw and draw houses, beautiful houses in color, with landscape and beautiful garden; flowering trees and flowers, flowers, flowers. In my teenage years, I taught crafting, paper-mache', dance lessons and anything my foolish heart could desire. I married young and had children in my early 20's. I had to drop what I love to do and care for my family, including earning by working outside home. But, I always find time to write; prose and poems, learn to sew clothes on both gender,  and create curtains and bedcovers. I also tried not to forget crocheting and guitar playing. Only that,  the rigid routine of motherhood, business and work took all my energy and time. Now, I am an empty nester, so I rushed to go back where I left off; my passion and love - creating arts and writing. Now, I am back and I am determined to love my craft even more. With one book on the market: A GLIMPSE OF EDEN  - another book on the way to publisher's house and 100 pcs of artworks in my hand.
