"Theresa Green" by Jeffrey S. Felten-Green
Not sure which printing style to choose?
"Theresa Green" is my attempt at flipping the negative/stereotypical images of Black people. In this case, I came across an Aunt Jemima illustration and decided to remove the negativity from her image and transform it into a more positive one. I changed her name to Theresa Green because if you repeat the name really fast, "Trees are green" will eventually come spewing out of your mouth. "Trees are green" expresses that Teresa's world is ruled by green - green is the supreme. Green is so nutritious that it feeds both her soul and her baby.

Meet the Artist: Jeffrey S. Felten-Green
The paintings and crafts I create appeal to my own sensibility of what art is. If I were forced to create a particular item or to create art in a particular mode, I am afraid the magic would be lost for me.
Many of my ideas are satirical, playful and at times, serious. They are snapshots of everyday life, or a life I conceive of in my imagination.
I love bright colors, and I love to evoke a mood for the observer. I do not like to tell the same story when I create. I also do not want to be pinned down by labels, styles or methods.
Please browse my website and explore my work. I hope my art will stir a mood within you, speak to you, and encourage you to speak to me. Feel free to share your thoughts and impressions about my work. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!
