Theresa


Paden


T


heresa Paden is known for unique
paintings that feature vivid colors and
expressive brushwork. She is an animal
lover and avid equestrian who has a passion for
painting horses, longhorns, wildlife and people
of the West. She is dedicated to helping animals
and donates a portion of all of her sales to horse
rescues and other animal rescue organizations.
Inspired by the Fauves, she mixes bright
colors and intense light with her expressive style
to capture the heart and soul of her subjects.
Paden says, “I approach each canvas with a
feeling of adventure and excitement. My hope
is that people will be energized by the colors
and textures in my work and feel an emotional
connection to the animals and people I portray.”
Paden has been painting with oils since age


  1. She earned her BFA from ArtCenter College
    of Design, Pasadena, California, in 1983. Before
    turning her focus to fine art Paden was senior art
    director at the NFL, where she designed Super
    Bowl logos, posters, tickets and VIP invitations.
    Her work has been shown at Western
    Masters in Great Falls, Montana; the San Dimas
    Western Art Show in San Dimas, California; and
    the Western Spirit Art Show & Sale in Cheyenne,
    Wyoming. Paden has also exhibited at the
    Mountain Oyster Club Western Art Show and
    Sale in Tucson, Arizona; Cattlemen’s Western
    Art Show & Sale in Paso Robles, California; the
    SLOPOKE Art Rodeo at Seaside Gallery in Pismo
    Beach, California; and at the Traveling the West
