Harry Teague endured a heart attack last Sunday January 29, 2006 and
passed from this life.

Harry's Website
Up there
is Harry, sitting at his art table, doing his art. His story starts with a
stroke, stumbles through heart attacks and really begins right there at that art
table.
At 46, Harry's body floated through a big stroke that left his right side
paralyzed and his reading and talking gone to somewhere else. At 51, having
watched every tv show made, his lifetime partner Diannia drug him to a paint
store. While there, they encountered the help of strangers and returned home
with the tools of an art form Harry knew little about. But almost immediately,
he sat at his art table and covered his art board with colors and figures and
pictures of what he saw, how he felt and where he had been.
Down there is Harry's art, part of the over one thousand paintings Harry has
done since that day in the paint store. Harry works his color magic almost
exclusively with paints on regular mat board, using the entire surface, running his dreams to the
end.
With Diannia, Harry has an advocate for his life, a protector of his art and a
lover of the man he used to be, the man he has become and the artist hidden away
for all those years.
Up there is Harry at his art table...down there is Harry's art...somewhere in
the middle lie the rest of us.

Harry lives
in Georgia and works his art usually with acrylic paint on
regular mat board. He likes the size 30"x19" and runs
most of his illustrations all the way to the end of the board.
Prices for Harry's work start at around $350.
Harry's work changes hands much higher in galleries and at
exhibition. His largest sale came when the House
of Blues in Atlanta acquired 200 of Harry's paintings for an
exhibition during the '96 Summer Olympics.
Harry has created over a
thousand paintings and has exhibited at Folk Fest in Atlanta,
with Disney's Folk Art Festival in Orlando, at the House of
Blues Folk Art Festival and more. Harry also supports the
recognition of artists with disabilities, exhibiting at
Transcendence and the 1999 North American Stroke Meeting
Exhibition. Among other awards, Harry has attained Best of
Show status in 1998, 2000 and 2001 at the Georgia Artists With
Disabilities, Inc exhibition in Atlanta.
We think
Harry Teague art will significantly increase in price as
collectors discover the imagination and style he has discovered
in himself.
