Theresa Reuter, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Gina Malone<\/p>\n<p>As a young art school graduate, Theresa Reuter got a job in the advertising field illustrating vegetables and flowers for the Harris Seed Company. It was a great start for her, she says, but she knew that it wasn\u2019t what she wanted to do long-term. \u201cI looked into teaching because when I was in college I was asked to take my portfolio to a group of high school students to inspire them to come to art school, and I remember how fun it was to see them light up when I showed them my work,\u201d she says. She had discovered her own love for art in an oil painting class when she was seven years old, and thereafter art classes in school were her favorite times, especially in high school. \u201cI had a special desk that was just mine in the art room,\u201d she says. She fed her creative urge by writing poetry and spending a lot of time in nature.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57800\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57800\" class=\"wp-image-57800\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Signs-of-Spring.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"423\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signs of Spring. Theresa Reuter, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI realized at some point that I was motivated to capture the life within the subjects that I was drawing or painting,\u201d Reuter says. \u201cI did a series of trees my senior year in college and I painted them without leaves in order to see the structure and growth patterns in the branches and trunks, like they were reaching or spiraling towards the sky. For many years, the feeling of movement has seemed to appear naturally in my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After going back to college for her master\u2019s, she got a job in the school district where she had received her own education. She taught for two years at the high school level before being asked to turn around the elementary school program that was in a bit of disarray. \u201cI was scared to death,\u201d she says. \u201c600 students in a four-day rotation. The room was a mess when I got there, but I cleaned it up and that turned out to be an amazing experience. The kids were delightful and would applaud every time I did a demonstration and they were always so excited and eager to create.\u201d In later years, she taught middle-schoolers and AP students. \u201cI was very blessed to have the opportunity to teach every age level,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>When she and her husband moved to Western North Carolina, she turned her focus full-time to her own artwork. She took a booth at her local farmers market in Brevard, selling jewelry and paintings and painting live during market hours. \u201cThe movement and activity there was so fun to capture and people really enjoyed watching me paint,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57799\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57799\" class=\"wp-image-57799\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-1024x798.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-768x598.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-810x631.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Matt-with-Son-Tailgate.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-1140x888.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt with Son Tailgate. Theresa Reuter, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That sense of movement traversed into her style as she began playing with layers and softness in areas of focus. \u201cI also did horse paintings where I repeated or did multiple horses to express the action or movement,\u201d she says. \u201cA few years after that, I thought \u2018why not just throw the paint and let the paint be the movement\u2019 and so I got more abstract. I played with color and used a simple silhouette of the horse and let the paint be seen as flowing through the body and beyond, holding the space of energy and suspension in the body of the horse.\u201d She uses mixed media, with oil paint applied last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPainting can be very calming, but also frustrating at times,\u201d Reuter says. \u201cThere will be times when I am painting that I will come to some realization about life that has nothing to do with the painting, but has more to do with the process which reveals to me epiphanies about life. The process of painting reveals to me how I think and keeps my ego in check. It is very humbling some days because some paintings come together in a few hours, and others I struggle for days with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, she adds, there is a feeling of peace that comes from \u201cthe act of creating something that represents my connection to my heart and my senses. It takes doing many, many paintings to get just a few that really capture this. But going through the process is like going through life. There are so many parallels, and painting has taught me so much about myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57798\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57798\" class=\"wp-image-57798\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-1536x1144.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-810x603.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Cover-Artist_-Theresa-Reuter-Mama-and-Babie-Donkey.-Theresa-Reuter-artist-copy-1140x849.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mother and Child.

I would not have let anyone else sit this close. But I will never sell that painting because it reminds me of her being there next to me in full appreciation and support.
