Teresa Abboud is a Georgia-based illustrator and a 2D animator. She graduated from the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts. She grew up in Lebanon in an artistic environment, in an atmosphere of integrity and disorder, war and liberty. Teresa's art reflects her inner feelings. Her esthetic choices come directly from this atmosphere that marked her childhood.
