Expansive
southwestern skies, approaching storms and moody sunsets describe the
colorful oil paintings by Teruko Wilde. Approximately 15 years ago, she
moved to New Mexico, like many, drawn to its dramatic landscape. Almost
immediately, she transited from watercolor and pastels to oil as it provided
the intensity and range of color she was seeking. Strong forms and compelling
color comprise her signature work.
Currently, she has expanded her form of expression into abstracted landscapes.
The artist must be true to herself in the act of creativity, states Wilde
whose work is the culmination of her Japanese heritage and American experiences.
Overlays of color create texture and intriguing shapes as past and present
merge. Recreating both emotional and physical elements from her surroundings,
the viewer is always moved by her work.
Ms. Wilde studied at the University of Cincinnati and Columbus College
of Art and Design in Ohio. She is listed in Who’s Who in America,
the International Directory of Distinguished Leadership, the Dictionary
of International Biography, Two Thousand Notable American Women and in
Woman of the Year.
