Teresa Vito’s paintings reflect the beauty she sees all around her. She loves painting living energy, whether it is the outdoor landscape, berries and flowers picked for a still life, or the unending variety of the human face. Vito has been a full time oil painter since 1992. She currently lives in Pueblo, Colorado.
Vito has a BA in Fine Art from the State University of New York at Geneseo and has taught and studied at the Art Students League at Denver and the Loveland Academy of Fine Arts. She painted with Richard Schmid for five years. Vito has won numerous national awards including an Award of Excellence, Best Portrait and Best Still Life Awards from Oil Painters of America. She also received the Best of Show Award from the Artists of Colorado Exhibition held at the Colorado History Museum. Southwest Art Magazine, Collector’s Edition, chose her as Collector’s Choice for Still Life in 2006. Vito has been granted signature membership with Knickerbocker Artists, Oil Painters of America and Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters. Recently the Sangre de Cristo Art Center purchased a painting for their permanent museum collection. |
