Teri Stratford
Born and raised in farm country in upstate NY, I made my way to New York City after earning a BA in art history at SUNY New Paltz. There I made a career in the textbook publishing industry as a freelance photo editor and photographer for major publishers such as Pearson Education, McGraw-Hill, and Macmillan. I’ve transitioned smoothly from editor to artist at Autumn Emeralds Art Prints, taking full advantage of the lush growing environment of the Northeastern USA. I currently reside in Walton, NY, my hometown.
My work has won the Avant Garde Award, Fenimore Art Museum’s Art by the Lake Art Invitational, Cooperstown, NY, and the Award of Distinction, Herkimer County Arts & Crafts Fair, Herkimer, NY.
Each Autumn Emeralds Art Print image is made with real leaves and flowers arranged on illustration board, usually with watercolor backgrounds. As leaves and flowers are biodegradable and will fade and deteriorate over time, original leaf art is scanned immediately after creation, preserving nature’s beautiful colors long after originals are gone.
Nature is my love and passion. I thrive being outdoors. An avid gardener, I love growing things. I love all animals but particularly cats. I love beautiful things. Creative since childhood, I have experimented with many different mediums, from ceramics to watercolors, quilt making to printmaking.
Autumn Emeralds Art Prints are an expression of my love, appreciation, and reverence for nature; a celebration of nature’s beauty, infinite variety, and detail. Playfulness is a must and appears in subjects chosen and image titles. Autumn Emeralds Art Prints allow me to perfectly express and share all the things that I love.
