WHITE BEAR LAKE RESORT — Theresa Fuhr, already described as talented yet humble, can add loyal to her list of attributes. Fuhr has been coming to White Bear since she was a child which is also when she began drawing.
Estevan is where she currently resides while her cabin at White Bear serves as her beautiful summer home. She shares the neighborhood with her family that also commute and reside at White Bear. Fuhr came from a family of artists, as her mother is a painter, her aunt is a weaver and her uncle carves. Her mother has always been, and continues to be, her biggest mentor and support.
Fuhr’s primary medium is watercolor which takes a lot of patience and methodology. A rule of thumb for watercolor painting is that white and light colors cannot be put on top of each other or it would ‘muddy’ the painting. That is what makes watercolor a more challenging medium as it is less forgiving than others.
In Estevan, Fuhr owns Art Concepts Custom Framing where many local artists’ work is displayed and available for purchase. Her painting, “Into the Night “ is a perfect example of her framing technique. You can also notice Fuhr’s unique style as her paintings go beyond the frame.
Fuhr supports Estevan the same way she supports White Bear Lake. The gallery, open Monday to Friday, hosts many events throughout the year including live music, art openings, painting workshops and wine and yoga nights.
Fuhr is hosting her “Artist on the Hill” event for the second year in a row on Saturday, July 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event takes place at 795 and 796 Clark Street in White Bear Lake and features local artists from around White Bear Lake including Michael Lonechild, Shelley Lueck, Mary MacKenzie, Creative Eats (Nikita Meyer), Lakefront Treasures (Amanda Myer), Tante Lottie (Charlotte Beaujot) and Linda and Jeff Gundmunson.
Fuhr opened up her yard hosting the first annual Artist on the Hill event in July 2022. Given the success, this will be a yearly event.
Fuhr thanks the community and other artists for showing support to White Bear Lake. She looks forward to seeing everyone at Artist on the Hill.
