Theresa Gray
Oil Painter
Wildlife and landscape — the off-grid Southwest
Theresa Gray earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. She now lives off-grid in Taos, New Mexico, in a home she and her husband Peter Halter built by hand. The landscape around that house — the trees, the open ground, and the animals that pass through it briefly — is the source material for her current work.
Her Glimpse series is paintings of the wildlife she sees from the property — owls, coyotes, the things you don't quite see, only catch moving through the trees. She has shown the work at JG Art Gallery + Events in Bainbridge Island and Park City, where her January 2025 solo exhibition Softening Our Gaze presented ten paintings of wildlife and landscape. "What I love about it is that it has so many messages," she has said of the show's title — "externally and internally, for us, for our planet and the critters who live on it."
