Teresa has been a sculptor since 1979 and tutor since 1986, but has always been an avid maker: from Plasticine + Lego to clay, cast stone and metal resins. Local public and private commissions have emerged from the shed of this sculptor, Shoreham-born + bred.

Complex and experimental forms also appear periodically, with some in-house team work, casting projects with daughter Abby Martin. Both are fascinated by organic structures and texture. Rhythmic processes dictate Teresa’s forms at times. Most sculptures are suitable for all weathers and constructed in all weathers.

Exhibiting in many beautiful gardens around the South of England: in 2024- Leonardslee, Savill, Ramster, Claremont Hall, Shoreham Art Gallery + Ropetackle Arts Centre slipway feature by the River Adur.
