ABOUT THE ARTIST - THERESA ZINGG

Biography:

Theresa Zingg is a Charleston-based abstract artist creating textured, non-objective paintings that combine organic shapes, layered patterns, and bold colors for modern interiors.

Her work blends intuitive movement with emotional depth, exploring themes of unity, resilience, and the quiet strength found in simplicity. Through bold linework, layered brushstrokes, and soft transitions between warm and cool tones, Zingg creates pieces that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Her artwork is designed to add depth, warmth, and emotion to homes, offices, and galleries, appealing to collectors and interior designers seeking unique, contemporary pieces.”

Working primarily in oils, Theresa builds each painting through a loose, instinctive process. She begins with open, unstructured marks—embracing imperfection—and allows the piece to reveal its direction over time. Layers of texture, soft neutrals, and expressive strokes evolve naturally, creating a sense of balance between chaos and clarity. This approach reflects her belief that art mirrors the human experience: raw, evolving, and undeniably connected.

Inspired by nature’s organic shapes, the movement of emotion, and the stories of shared human resilience, Theresa’s paintings aim to create moments of calm within contemporary spaces. Her work is often described as grounding, warm, and quietly powerful—art that invites viewers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their own inner landscapes.

Her pieces feature prominently in modern homes, designer-curated interiors, and gallery spaces, appealing to collectors who value authenticity, handcrafted detail, and the meditative quality of abstract minimalism. Theresa’s artwork is represented by Drummond Studio Gallery in Charleston, SC, where her original oil paintings are showcased alongside other leading contemporary artists.

Each painting is created with intention:
• Organic forms that echo natural flow and movement
• Warm neutral palettes balanced by cool, calming contrasts
• Bold expressive lines that anchor the composition
• Textured layers that reveal the history of the piece
• Minimal yet emotional storytelling that gives space for personal interpretation

Theresa believes that art should feel alive—changing with the light, shifting with the viewer’s experience, and growing richer over time. Whether displayed in a serene living space, a modern coastal home, or a refined design project, her work brings a sense of harmony and understated elegance.

When she’s not in the studio, Theresa is often gathering inspiration from the Charleston coastline, natural textures, architectural lines, and the everyday moments that reveal beauty in simplicity. This blend of nature, emotion, and intuitive observation shapes every collection she creates.
