THERESA DRAPKIN
MEET THE ARTIST
Theresa Drapkin is best known for her vibrant, non-traditional pastel still life and figurative pieces that emphasize color relations and a graphic style. She has an MFA from Pratt Institute, has roots in Atlanta and New York, and is currently based in Palm Beach.
Anna Mucci
Theresa's work has been shown across the country—from Portland to Los Angeles—and featured at the New York and Chicago Botanical Gardens.
She’s collaborated with fashion and interior brands like Kate Spade, Serena and Lily, Anthropologie, Of a Kind, Eleven Six, and Casa Branca.
She pulls inspiration from daily rituals, textiles, architecture, landscape and literature, creating richly layered pastels. As a strong advocate for upcycling much of her original art is framed in restored vintage pieces.
Trained in graphic design, Theresa most recently designed the branding and interiors for West Palm Wine Co., a wine shop she owns with her husband. She lives in West Palm Beach, has two young daughters and works from a poolside studio.
