Teruko Wilde

Teruko Wilde was born in Nagoya, Japan, moving to the United States as a teenager she studied at the University of Cincinnati and Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio. An award-winning artist, Ms. Wilde has had numerous one-person and group shows. She initially established herself as a prominent pastel and watercolor artist before moving to Taos in 1986.

 

Expansive southwestern skies, approaching storms, and moody sunsets, describe the colorful oil paintings of Teruko Wilde, which became known as her ‘Southwest Series’ for more than a decade.

​

Currently, the artist is combining all of her life experiences into multiple styles and techniques. ‘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. Recreating both emotional as well as physical elements from her surroundings with overlays of color creating texture and intriguing shapes as past and present merge, the viewer is constantly moved by her work.

 

Wilde is listed in ‘Who’s Who in America’, ‘Who’s Who in the West’, ‘The International Directory of Distinguished Leadership’, ‘The Dictionary of International Biography’, ‘Two Thousand Notable American Women’, and ‘Woman of the Year’.

What life is all about for me as an artist consists of the self imposed and perpetual challenge of trying to discover my truest and purest form of the skills and techniques that empower me with the ability to interpret my soul onto canvas.
