Episode 39 - Teresa Franks: Surface Pattern Designer, Artist, Creator, Single-mother, and World-traveller on setting aside time for worry, the joys of Just Dance, meditation, yoga, and living a happy life.
Hands down this was one of the more abstract conversations I've had. Loved it.
Here is Teresa in her own words:
My name is Teresa Franks and I am a successful Australian Surface Pattern Designer, artist, illustrator and graphic designer well renowned for my quirky, whimsical art.
I live on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia but grew up in a small country town, listening to stories and chasing fairies in the forest with my grandparents.
My love of nature, travel, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, children’s stories and my grandfather’s ink drawings has seen me take my love of patterns and colour to a whole new level.
My unique patterns are a progression of my love of drawing, painting and airbrushing.
See how I blend my love of the old with the whimsy of the new in my wonderful new portfolios designed to brighten even the dullest day.
Things I love...
My amazing daughter Sheridan | her amazing dog Nelson | living on the Gold Coast | watching the Harry Potter movies over and over | watching and playing tennis | laughing til I cry | making everyone else laugh til they cry | yoga | dancing when nobody is around | music | drawing (really??), painting and creating.
