Collection: Teresa Corbishley

Teresa Corbishley creates with instinct, humour, and an unmistakable sense of play. Working across acrylic, ceramic, and mosaic, her pieces are deeply expressive — sometimes delightfully wonky, always full of heart. Whether painting a moment of birdish joy or sculpting a character-rich creature in clay, Teresa captures the quirks and subtleties of life with intuitive warmth.

Her painted works often carry a softened vibrancy — layers of colour and gesture that reveal movement and emotion beneath the surface. Her ceramic animals, meanwhile, are never just animals. They’re individuals: bull-headed charmers, curious quails, wide-eyed watchers of the world. There’s a quiet wit in her work, and a profound love of character — both human and animal.

As the other daughter of Janice Corbishley and sister to Donna Lee, Teresa is part of a strong family lineage of creativity. Her practice reflects both the inherited and the original — a voice entirely her own, formed through experimentation, observation, and a deep connection to the natural world.
