Many years ago, Therese Verner started her artistic career creating and designing custom stained glass windows. Her creations were sold and installed in dozens of homes throughout the Los Angeles area. A self-taught artist, Therese specializes in creating oil paintings and mixed-media works inspired by her love of nature and the cosmos.
Even though she is legally blind, she has enough sight to create works of art to brighten others’ lives. An amazing video, created and produced by Giulio Meliani, features Therese's thoughts on Lignt and Art:
