Some Watermarks say "Theresia Teal" because of a name change!
You may also wonder why my pictures look a little odd! Especially in their structure. This is because I protect my art against AI scraping with Nightshade and Glaze! Two very helpful tools for artist who wander around the digital realm!


For more information check out the Unversity of Chicago who developed these free to use tools

Handcraft

Clay and Polymerclay Work
I absolutely love working with clay and polymer clay! Most of the time, I use a homemade air-dry clay called Cold Porcelain, a simple mixture of white glue and cornstarch, to create my trinkets and small sculptures. To add color, I use a combination of gouache paint and acrylic markers, and then seal each piece with several coats of glossy varnish to give it a durable, shiny finish. I choose not to use UV resin due to its toxicity because safety and sustainability matter to me. For more detailed work, I often turn to polymer clay. It’s especially helpful when I need precise sculpting and want to work with pre-colored clay, which can save time and help achieve a cleaner look. I'm always experimenting with new methods and techniques, and I love finding creative ways to incorporate them into my work.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about working with a tangible, three-dimensional material and it’s a wonderful contrast to my digital projects and brings a whole new kind of joy to the process.

About me

Hi! Thanks for checking out my Homepage! I've always loved to draw! Ever since I was little, art has been a big part of my life. Over the years, my passion has only grown, and now I mainly create digital Illustrations and traditional clay- and paper art. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Fascinated by the world of art, I decided to study art history. My curiosity led me to explore the stories behind paintings, sculptures, and visual culture throughout history. (o˘◡˘o) After years of dedication, I earned my master’s degree in art history and a certificate in art therapy, deepening my understanding of artistic expression and its evolution. Art continues to inspire me every day! Whether creating or analyzing, I love immersing myself in its endless possibilities. (⁀ᗢ⁀)
My biggest inspirations are:

  • Ghibli

  • Delicious Food

  • Nature


Fun Fact! (ノ´ヮ`)ノ: ・゚✧All of my creations (except for egg bunny hehe) are vegan!
I mean not just the materials I use, but even the artwork itself. (๑>◡<๑)
In popular Ghibli-inspired pieces, I carefully replace animal-based products with vegan alternatives. So if you ever spot a cozy meal in my art, look closely—it might be a plant-based twist! (≧◡≦) ♡
