Theresa Byrnes, Avant-Garde Artist, Contemporary, Talented

When we are looking for stories that will provoke and inspire us to action, it is no wonder the woman in this feature story comes to mind. She is a local artist right here in New York City who happens to have a disability. What's fascinating about her work is that she uses her own body, at times, as a brush for the canvas. Theresa Byrnes is a very talented artist whose work I would characterize as avant-garde. She really goes all out creating art that stimulates the senses! Case in point, in her latest masterpiece, Theresa Byrnes does something extremely thought provoking. I was personally struck by many different emotions as I watched her paint with her body. Theresa's style comes through immediately filling one with the sense that she'll be the topic of conversation for generations to come, much like "The Greats" whose works are displayed throughout our American museums today. If you still have a chance, try to see her performance art piece. The last day is tomorrow, Sunday, October 21 at 7:30 to 8 p.m. sharp! You will not be disappointed!
