Donald Teskey

Donald Teskey has earned a substantial reputation as a painter of the ruggedness of the western seaboard, capturing fleeting light and restless movement, as transitory weather moves over land and sea.

In Fractured Shoreline he has found an ideal structure to express these elemental forces of nature, through the worn and weathered surfaces and textures of the carborundum process.
