Collection: Common Things

Common Things is a collection of original contemporary paintings by Tennessee artist Teri Stephens celebrating the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Inspired by patterned pottery, bowls, pitchers, flowers, and found forms, each painting transforms familiar subjects into modern fine art through layered paint, expressive mark making, sanding, scraping, and rich texture. Rooted in the belief that beauty doesn't have to be rare to be remarkable, Common Things invites viewers to discover the beauty in the ordinary.
