Teresa Seaton
BFA
Teresa’s uniquely sculptural fine art stained glass is an artistic trademark featuring multi layers of glass panels with spun wire. Her use of a refined colour pallet creates a mood and atmosphere that is distinctive to Teresa, making her one of Canada’s most notable Fine Art Stained Glass Artist.
Graduating from York University with a BFA in drawing & sculpture, Teresa also completed her Graphic Design Diploma at Sheridan College leading her to successful career as Senior Designer and Creative Director with clients from Toronto to New York. Her ability to listen and read the clients needs enabled her to succeed in a freelance capacity for 10 years.
Teresa chose stained glass to express her artistic voice in 2001. Working full time as a Fine Art Stained Glass Artist since 2010 she opened the doors of Teresa Seaton Studio & Gallery in 2013.
Teresa has been sharing her love of her craft by teaching at the Niagara Falls Museum, the Art Gallery of Burlington and Dundas Valley School of Art since 2014. She believes that through education and original design she can influence the upcoming makers of her field of expertise.
