Shesus (2022) Sculpture by Teresa Castaneda

I began my journey in the arts early. By 19, I synchronously earned a B.F.A at MSU, juggled a photography internship with the Denver Art Museum, was an alternate instructor for a professor on sabbatical teaching metalsmithing and senior thesis portfolio photography at MSU, represented by a publisher and certified as a trade jeweler in California. My professional career spans from photo lab work to photojournalism, tabletop, weddings, portrait and portfolio photography, and trade jeweler to private clients and jewelry stores. My drawings, invented style in painting, photography, and sculpture have been included in hundreds of exhibitions, books, and publications, such as the Denver Voyage Magazine, 5280, Westword “Colorado Creative”, and local newspapers. National recognitions include the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Archives of women artists), KaBOOM national non-profit, and twice by the National Endowment for the Arts with a grant for my invention in printmaking called “Crinkleism”, and again for the positive impact on the community with an organization, I founded called ReArranging Denver / a zero waste project sustained with scavenged materials. The project bridges communities and local businesses through creative reuse workshops contracted by Denver County, Arapahoe County, and Boulder County schools, libraries, and art affiliations. Art made from the project has been sold by over 20 Denver and Boulder retailers, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Museo Art Museum, and the Denver Art Museum.
