Teresita Leal
Buenos Aires, Argentina
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I currently live and work.
I graduated as a Biochemist, doctor in Physiology, but became an art quilter 20 years ago. During this time, I have studied techniques, color and composition in books, internet and with outstanding teachers when attending international shows. I have taught workshops and produced my art pieces which have been exhibited in quilt festivals, art salons and museums in America and Europe.
​
My creative process begins when going through my fabrics, I’m taken by their texture and color. I work with little planning, usually just a general idea of what the finished piece will look like. I’m currently working with a collage technique that enables me to improvise with great freedom.
