Harry
Teague’s hands just couldn't stop talking, and they had plenty
to say. The stroke Harry suffered in 1990 may have slowed the words
of his mouth, but not the colors of his mind. Since he first picked
up the paintbrush Harry has become a promising and prolific self-taught
artist with boundless enthusiasm. Harry’s art brings smiles
with his bright acrylics on mat board, using the entire surface,
running his humor to the edge. Harry passed away January 29, 2006, at the age of 61 years old, from a heart attack. His creative voice was a brief ten years, but forever to be shared in the world of art. His wife and life partner of 42 years, Diannia resides in Cartersville, Georgia.
