About Me

My name is Teresa Cowley, a visually impaired (but not blind) graphic designer and digital artist from Victoria BC. I started out in about 2001 designing posters for my local community centre with the mentorship of a former staff member who had a background in graphic design. I eventually went from informal mentorship and self learned techniques to winning awards for some of my work.
