THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1975 LONG ISLAND TRAVELER-WATCHMAN PAGE SEVENTEEN Versatility Is Word For Shaw Where do the crafts leave off and the arts begin? There is really no dividing line, says Teresa Shaw, an artist and art teacher, whose own works range from abstracts and etchings to macrames and wood burnings. A former supervisor of art instruc tion in the Oceanside public school system now happily and busily retired in Cutchogue, Mrs. Shaw believes everyone is capable of artistic ac complishment. and that includes her husband. Bob, who describes himself as ‘‘strictly a no-talcnt guy.\ And as to looking down one’s nose at people who do things with string, wood and shell, Mrs. Shaw opines: “ The crafts and the arts actually overlap. Macrame, for example, is considered a craft, and yet there have been impressive New York City exhibits of macrame as an art form. Anything done with skill and imagina tion is truly an art.” If this sounds slightly pedagogical, the explanation lies in Teresa Shaw’s 32-year career as a teacher, originally inOceanside and more recently at Our Redeemer Lutheran School in Sea- ford. Not only has she taught count less children, but she also has helped many adults to develop and make use of their artistic capabilities by con ducting arts and crafts programs for organized groups. A native Long Islander, born and raised in Rockville Centre, the former Teresa Woodcock is a g raduateof both Cooper Union and Oneonta, and also studied at Syracuse and Adelphi. The granddaughter of a noted musician. Dr. William Woodcock, for many years the organist of the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woodcock, well remembered as summer residents of E ast Marion. She is married to Robert J.B. Shaw, a retired importer who is now a real estate broker with Sidor Realty in Mattituck. Since 1972, they have lived on New Suffolk Avenue with their 22-year-old d aughter, Kathy, a year- ago graduate of Mary Washington College and presently a teller at the Southold Savings Bank. Versatility is the name for this amiable, energetic and surprisingly youthful retired teacher. The breadth of her artistic interests is almost overpowering to an interviewer whose main achievement in the field has been making shark tooth necklaces for small and unsophisticated grand daughters. The variety of her paint ings in oils and acrylics is amazing, running the gamut from brilliantly This highly decorative wall hanging is an assemblage of sea shells and other beach items arranged on upholsterer’s cloth and framed by macrame and embroidery. It is one of the many creations of Mrs. Shaw, who also excels as a painter of North Fork land and sea scenes. Retired art teacher Teresa Shaw combines beach stones, shells, driftwood and other flotsam to create her rotund, rollicking “ Pebble People” . SOUTHOLD LUMBER CO.

But her land and seascapes are lovely as well as colorful; her paintings of old barns and houses are warm, nostalgic and satisfying. It is as an innovator and experi menter, however, that T eresa Shaw is most interesting and impressive. She appears to have advanced beachcraft to the status of fine art and what she can do with a few stones, shells and odd bits of jetsam and flotsam is really remarkable. She is the creator of the \Pebble People” and a more in teresting collection of whimsical char acters we’ve never seen. She also utilizes beach gleanings in jewelry, wall hangings and collages. While continually trying new tech niques and media, Mrs. Shaw seems to have revived the art (or craft?) of wood-burning, but her creations in no way resemble the saturnine plaques that hung in Victorian parlors. She uses the paint brush as well as the burning tool, and h er blocks are rich in color and novel in design. She does colorful mosaics using Venetian glass tiles, utilizes string to make low-relief paintings, makes tissue paper paintings and collages, etches on steel, fabricates lovely flowers from colored paper, makes picture frames, etc, etc. She has dabbled in ceramics, but here she hands the palm to daughter Kathy, who, incidentally, isalso adept in the needlework arts, including quilting. Mrs. Shaw draws inspiration from local sights and scenes; she has been in love with the North Fork, she says, since she first summered in East Marion overSOyears ago. Much of her work has a religious theme, reflecting her own faith. While she has made no great effort to commercialize her considerable production, she does plan to exhibit at the Mattituck Lions strawberry festival June 14, at Penn State July 11-21 and at fence shows this summer in Southold and Cutch ogue. And the fascinating “ Pebble People” are available at the Love Lane Shop in Mattituck. Deeply interested in Eastern Long Island history, she devotes consider able time to the Southold Historical Society and its museum and “ treasure shop” . She also has charge of the arts and crafts program of the Sunday School of Advent Lutheran Church in Mattituck.
