Marybeth Tereszkiewicz, an artist  in painting, dancing, acting, directing and choreographing, Ms. Tereskiewicz is profoundly committed to testing the physical boundaries and connections between the dance floor and the painter's canvas.  From continual experiments with innovative forms and structures, Ms. Tereskiewicz's artistic expression now flows with the movement, balance, precision, varied rhythms, shading, and lighting of her best choreography.  The result is a hybrid of abstract imagery and visceral gestures that offer her viewers a catharsis of deep emotionspaintings that ripple in their stillness as they aim to resolve wherever they disturb to expose.  Marybeth Tereskiewicz now lives in San Francisco with her seven year old daughter and teaches Visual and Performing Arts at a private high school.
