Tessa is the daughter of the artist, Mary Newcomb, and was brought up in the company of artists. Her training was at Norwich Art School and then at the Bath Academy of Art. She has been in the stable of artists at the prestigious Crane Kalman Gallery in London for many years now and is a regular exhibitor in many East Anglian Galleries. Today her work is held in several public collections and is much loved for her ability to engage with us all as the artist's eye, looking over our shoulder and catching the nuances of daily life.
