Abstract painting with vivid, fluid streaks of color blending across the paper. Prominent hues include bright yellow, turquoise, cobalt blue, peach, and purple, interspersed with black and white. The colors appear to be dragged or poured, creating feathered, wave-like textures. The upper corners feature heavier black and grey areas, adding contrast. In the bottom right corner, the artwork is signed “T Cowley” with the caption “Art & Design by Teresa Cowley.”

Guess Who’s Back (With Actual Paint)?

After a much-needed break, I’m back to blogging—with fresh energy and a renewed creative spark! I’m diving into traditional art again (hello, paint and lotion experiments!) while still mixing in my digital work. It feels great to share more of my personal journey, and there’s plenty more art and insight coming your way.

Abstract digital artwork featuring a textured background in shades of teal, peach, lavender, and gray. Overlaying this background are numerous black dots of varying sizes, some with white centres. Two large solid-coloured circles dominate the center—one in deep blushing peach on the left and one in dark teal on the right. The composition has a layered, textured appearance with a dynamic arrangement of circular elements.

Why a Simple Dot is so Powerful

Dots might seem small, but in art, they pack a punch—from ancient symbolism to digital pixels and Yayoi Kusama’s wild, immersive worlds. This post dives into how a single point can spark infinite meaning, showing why artists across time keep coming back to the humble dot. Curious how deep a dot can go? Let’s find out.

Behind the desk, a large mural features a vibrant landscape with red trees, blue hills, and a city skyline in the background. The space is well-lit with natural light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows on the right, showing a view of the outside. The interior has wooden flooring, potted plants, and a mix of wood and glass elements, creating a sleek and welcoming atmosphere.
