Teresa Godfrey is a professional member of Visual Artists Ireland based in Co Fermanagh. She began exhibiting while studying Fine Art at Belfast Metropolitan College and since then her work has been shown in over 30 group exhibitions in the UK, Ireland, Italy, and online. She had her first solo exhibition at Solas Art Gallery, Co Leitrim in early 2025 and is currently preparing for her second in 2026/27. Although Teresa is a professionally trained draughtsman, she now paints abstract or semi-abstract works in oils or acrylic on medium to large scale canvases. She uses a variety of mark-making instruments to excavate and expose deeper significance within her work to both herself and to her audience. In this sense then, she is an intuitive artist. But her work is neither random or haphazard because she is an artist who is aware of her increasingly purposeful search for meaning in her own life and in her experiences of the world around her. Whilst she leaves herself open, and even vulnerable, to the deep emotions that can arise when exploring the subconscious, she mines these with the acute consideration and sensibility of an artist who wants to reach out and engage with the world in a coherent and stimulating way. Teresa is also a writer and film maker. She holds an MA in Documentary Film Practice from the University of Ulster and is an award-winning screenwriter with two dramas broadcast on UK’s Channel 4 television. In addition, she has two collections of poetry published in Ireland and a novel published in the USA and her short stories have appeared in literary journals in Ireland, the UK, and in the USA.
