The Best of Two Worlds
This painting was inspired by some of the fiction written for GENERAL QUARTERS, a monthly magazine generated by a Star Trek fan club which was populated by writers. The two characters comprise Antonia Bellero, featured in Destiny's Forge, and another character created by someone else. The two planets are the homeworlds of each. Acrylics. Size: 20" x 15" ©1993 |
The Gas Giant
This painting was inspired by an 8" x 10" black & white cover image created for GENERAL QUARTERS. It was at this point that Theresa determined that she would do no more large works. Acrylics. Size: 48" x 24" ©1995 |
Aprhrodite Rising
This painting was inspired by the "Xena: Warrior Princess" series and was created in response to the idea that Aphrodite may have been a blonde. In fact, most Greeks had dark hair and eyes. This sold well as a print.

Rescued!
This painting was inspired by the events of 9/11/2001. After Theresa painted it she felt much better, having worked out all her thoughts of revenge onto canvas. The image was taken from Burrough's "Tarzan" stories.

Orca
Or, Why They Close the Beaches At Night
This painting was generated for the annual World Horror Convention in 2002. Theresa created a vampire merfolk species after having seen "Dagon", a Lovecraftian horror picture, on TV.Acrylics. Size: 14" x 11" ©2002 |

Isis
This painting was one of three created for an art gallery in Savannah, Georgia, for their grand opening exhibit "Goddesses". Along with her famous and iconic portrayal as the "mother of the gods" in Egypt, Isis was also a patron goddess of the hearth and of medicine. Here she is shown casting her light on the night in front of her temple at Philae.

Tiamat
This painting was one of three created for an art gallery in Savannah, Georgia, for their grand opening exhibit "Goddesses". Tiamat was the daughter of the god Marduk in Sumerian myth and the "mother of all monsters" as well as the goddess of creation itself. In some statuary she is shown as a snake-like monster. Here she is shown casting a spell on the ocean of the world to calm it. Behind her, the primordial skies show the constellation Draco.

Tigers of The Raj
This painting was inspired by the PBS television documentary of the same title, and also the theme music composed by James Asher. The temple in the background is of an original design inspired by Hindu temples found in the Rajputana of India.

The Vampire Lestat
This painting was inspired by the films in the Anne Rice vampire series. It is a compilation of impressions of the character as depicted in both films, but holding more true to Tom Cruise's portrayal in "Interview With The Vampire".

Brothers of The Shire
This painting was inspired by the Peter Jackson "Lord of The Rings" series of films. There was so much inspiration from the combat motifs in "The Two Towers" that it was hard to avoid a comparison with the "Band of Brothers" series.

Kindred Spirits
This painting was inspired by the final cancellation of the Star Trek series "Star Trek: Enterprise". It looked like there would be no more series or movies created for the franchise in the future, so this was to serve as a "farewell" image. The original frigate commissioned for the British East India Company sails off toward the horizon, guided by the ghost of the future. The flag flying off the stern is the United Federation of Planets standard.

Encounter
This is an image created for an illustrated version of Destiny's Forge, which proved too long and impractical to illustrate after all. Here Antonia meets the villain Andreas Orsini for the first time on Corelli's Planet.
