Colored Horse Studios was created by a poet trained in printing technologies, and an artist trained in publishing. We have found that our ongoing practice in fine arts and literature adds a vital dimension to our commercial projects. Theresa Whitehill, poet, graphic designer, and letterpress printing, was born and raised in California, attended UC Santa Cruz and Mills College, and has spent extensive time traveling. In Greece, she studied modern Greek poetry, language, music, and dancing, and in Spain and Portugal, studied the life and work of the poet Garcia Lorca, and the fado music of Lisbon. In recent years she has been Poet-in-Residence at Stag's Leap Winery in the Napa Valley, has attended the American Film Institute's Digital Arts Workshop, and has written a collaborative novel with three other Mendocino coast writers. Her travel essays and poetic interviews have been published in Appellation Magazine, and her poetry appears in regional literary journals. She reads her work regularly on the radio, and in cafe venues all over northern California. Paulo Ferreira, painter and sculptor, was born in Lisbon, where he attended Art school. He has lived in Ibiza, Paris, London, New York City, and Los Angeles, before moving to California. His design projects have included the Phillis Restaurant in Ibiza, the Estee Lauder and Escalade department store display in London, and various theater and multi-media events in New York, where he managed the Ohio, an off off Broadway theater. Most recently he has begun sculpting in marble from his native Portugal, and working in bronze. The literary letterpress broadsides of Colored Horse Studios are in the collections of the John Hay Library at Brown University, the New York Public Library, the Special Collections Department at UCLA, the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, the Special Collections Library at Mills College, the San Francisco Public Library, City College of San Francisco, the Los Angeles Public Library, Stanford University, and Columbia University, along with many private collections.
