Theresa Stirling is a nationally collected encaustic artist whose work blends sophisticated technique with self-taught grit and passion. With hundreds of commissions delivered to private collectors, interior designers, and luxury spaces, she brings a deeply personal touch to each creation.

Whether you’re envisioning a large-format statement piece or subtle, atmospheric work, each commission begins with conversation and evolves through thoughtful collaboration. Now in luxury resorts, private compounds and hospital collections, Theresa loves this work.
