Originating from the U.K. but now residing in the Canary Islands, freelance artist Teresa Tunaley finds more time to devote to her love of art and painting. For more than 30 years she has been doodling traditionally with pencils and dabbling with watercolours. More recently she uses a more modern technique, using software such as Photoshop, Corel Draw and Paint Shop Pro to produce her creations. More of her work can be viewed at Artstopper.com.
