BIOGRAPHY
New Orleans based artist Teresa Cole, known for her installation print work created primarily in relief and serigraph, exhibits nationally and internationally. Her interest in appropriating varied cultural expressions led to visiting artist engagements at Hard Ground Printmakers, Cape Town, South Africa; Frans Masereel Graphics Center in Kasterlee, Belgium and Khoj Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Her most recent wall screen-print was commissioned by the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia.
Cole earned a BFA in fiber from MICA, Baltimore, MD and received much of her early printmaking education as a working member of Peacock Printmakers in Aberdeen, Scotland. Her MFA in printmaking is from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan. She currently holds the Ellsworth Woodward Professorship in Art at Tulane University.
