 Theresa’s
current one-of-a-kind art dolls are explorations of color and pattern
and a holistic attempt to reestablish human connections to larger
worlds, both real and imagined. She uses a variety of materials—new
and vintage fabrics and trim, polymer clays, paper and paperclay,
beads and buttons, and a number of surface applications including
paint, pastels, stamping, stickers, collage, and decoupage—and
employs numerous techniques to realize her designs.
She began working in clay and fabric as a child and through
the years has found expression in many genres, including toymaking,
miniatures, music, and costume. Theresa has a BA and master’s
level work in art history and is an accomplished seamstress and
designer. She is a book publisher and a published poet and has
also received awards as part of a songwriting/playwriting team,
as well as several award nominations for her costume design.
Theresa’s work in publishing and children’s theatre has opened
her eyes to the world’s stories. Through her dolls, she hopes
to share her own stories and to encourage others to tell theirs.
She lives and works in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Juan
Miranda, and their daughter Kate.
