I was born to create.
Through the years, I tried my hand at many things to satisfy this hunger within me. Painting, crafts, gardening, interior decorating; I have done it all with more or less success.
I still do all these things from time to time, but photography stayed with me through B&W film, colour film, slides, and by the time it finally became digital, I was hooked for good.
It is my passion pure and simple and it brings so much joy to my life. It has taught me to appreciate what surrounds me. Picture making fulfills my need to be creative, which in turns contributes greatly to my happiness. Standing behind a camera is a part of me, as is sharing my images with others. My photographs are about emotions, experiences and simply living. They don't just happen, they are made either in the field or on my computer. Digital photography is for me a deeply satisfying, creative adventure. As for any visual artist it is important to get an idea, take this vision to the next level and watch it grow.

My photography/digital art is NOT public domain. They are protected by copyright with all rights reserved.
Please read this entire page before taking any of my images.
You may use my images for free as linkware under certain conditions using the following guidelines (stated below).
Linkware means that you include credit (copyright Teresa Zieba) and my website address: http://www.teniasgallery.com with my work or give credit using one of my banners on the same page where my work appear.
The reason I must ask that you follow these guidelines is because many times if someone finds or receives an image without the artists name they may download it or scan it and use it , modify it or include it in other creations without realizing they are breaking copyright laws. In fact some folks download a photo, then create something different with it and claim credit for the new creation with no mention of the original artist.
You may use my work as linkware if your personal website is NOT commercial and does NOT contain or link to pornography, hate, or adult material or sites.
Never link directly to any of my work on the website, you must download it and use it from your own files. You may NOT use my work in other graphic collections (give away or for sale) either online or in any other form (printed matter, Cd's etc...). You may NOT alter any of my work or create other graphics with them, ie: banners, awards, PSP tubes, backgrounds, background sets, theme sets etc... without specific written permission.
In most cases I will give permission.
It is appropriate to give credit and a working link to the artist
(in this case me, tenia@teniasgallery.com , http://www.teniasgallery.com)
on each page where you use my images.
A text credit and link are fine (you don't have to put a banner on every page). If you use several photos from one artist it's courteous to include a banner link to them on your credit/links page as well.
If you use any of my work and do not follow these guidelines it is considered copyright theft and is illegal.
If you download images from collection pages that DO NOT specify the artists of those images, you may be guilty of copyright theft. Stating that the artist is unknown or that you/they believe the images are public domain does not excuse copyright theft. Too many people are doing this and one by one artists are closing their free sites. If it continues it will be hard to find new free original work on the web.
Thanks for reading these terms and following them.
Each day open your heart to recognize the rainbows in your life.
