Teil Duncan Henley
Birthplace: Columbus, Georgia
Residence: Columbus, Georgia
Family: Husband, Russell, and three children
Education: Auburn University
Instagram: @teilart
Website: teilduncan.com
Career: Fine art painter. According to Teil, she is inspired by light, movement, surprising color combinations, social interaction, and patterns. Her goal is to infuse these elements and form abstracted, pixilated compositions. No matter the subject, she strives to portray a balance of realism combined with loose abstraction, causing one to complement the other.
Fashion style: “Clean and comfy with an edge! I think because my studio is a mess, and my life is so fast paced with work, babies, and travel, I like to feel put together to counterbalance that.”
Favorite paint color: “Right now, washed indigo!”
Favorite Instagram account: “It’s close to impossible for me to choose a single favorite Instagram account. I love looking at Schumacher and all the beautifully designed rooms. I love Marysia Swim and her gorgeous branding. I also follow countless artists who blow me away on a daily basis.”
Teil’s textile and wallpaper line portrays the same bold colors found in her original paintings, while also bringing in neutral elements that pair well with the home you’ve already created. Whether enveloping you in a room or acting as a pop of color, we hope you find a pattern that speaks to you and makes you feel at home.
Check out Teil's new line of textiles and wallpaper patterns, released on September 9.
