Raised in a small Wisconsin town Theresa learned at an early age the joy of “Artistic Expression” as well as how to round up cows that broke loose from neighboring farms. Both of these talents served her well later in life, with a degree in Graphic Design she spent several years as an Animal Control Officer for Milwaukee County. When she wasn't trading web design for helicopter piloting lessons she could be found volunteering as a Fire Fighter/EMT, visiting hospitals and nursing homes with her certified Pet Therapy Dogs, teaching Maui Thai Kickboxing, Swing Dancing or working in her studios on various painting, photography, writing, stained glass, or jewelry projects. Several of those jewelry projects have even been featured on the pages of BeadStyle magazine.
Theresa began 2 Dog Studios with the encouragement of her supportive and very patient husband, Brit. The name 2 Dog Studios is derived from their two rescue dogs, Cecelia and Howie. Because of them and experiencing first hand the deplorable conditions of so many stray animals, Theresa & Brit foster numerous stray/injured animals, and 2 Dog Studios donates a portion of all proceeds to animal rescue and adoption agencies. One of their favorite rescues is Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center. If you are in the Milwaukee area, be sure to stop in and view the available animals or just make a donation.
