Meet the Artist
Teagan Carregal is an Orlando-based multidisciplinary artist turning everyday moments into her own visual perspective. Born in Orlando, she moved several times before returning to attend the University of Central Florida, where she studied Visual Arts Management, Art History, and Studio Art. Though she has been creating for as long as she can remember, she fell in love with art during her junior year of high school, and has been honing her practice ever since.
Her work spans acrylics, linoleum-based printmaking, graphite, charcoal, and watercolor, encompassing landscapes, seascapes, portraits, and observational studies. Across all subjects, she is fascinated by the way light impacts color, defines form, and transforms perception. The techniques she chooses, the colors she selects, and the small details she emphasizes are informed by where she is in life at the moment. Painting becomes both an escape and a love letter to the world around her. She is drawn to capturing beauty as a quiet counterpoint to lifeâs challenges, inviting viewers to slow down and notice what often goes unseen.
From sunlight filtering through leaves to the tangled powerlines of a familiar street, her paintings are grounded in studies of life and keen attention to detail. Through her work, Teagan invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the mundane. In a world that moves so fast and constantly chases big events or instant gratification, her paintings are meant to offer a subtle pause, a chance to notice what we might usually turn a blind eye to.
Outside the studio, Teagan is involved in Orlandoâs arts community, serving as Marketing and Creative Manager at CityArts, part of the Downtown Arts District. In this role, she curates exhibitions, manages artist communications, and oversees marketing across social media, email campaigns, and print and digital materials. Working closely with artists, curators, and the community has been inspiring, and she feels her own work has grown alongside the people she collaborates with. She credits this creative network with reigniting her love of art and helping her continue to develop as an artist.
She is endlessly grateful to her family, including her parents, Richard and Kelly Carregal, her sisters, Cami and Eden Carregal, and her partner, Andrew Szuba, whose unwavering support has made every step of her artistic journey possible. She also thanks her friends, extended family, instructors, professors, colleagues, and anyone who has offered feedback, critique, or encouragement along the way. Each conversation, observation, purchase, and spark of inspiration has left its mark on her practice, shaping the way she creates.

Artist Statement:
âMy work explores techniques with color, line quality, and form to describe my relationship with nature as it serves as a profound source of inspiration for me. I utilize drawing, printmaking, and painting mediums to capture its beauty and organic intricacies. My wish with my work is to open a dialogue with viewers on the timeless allure of landscapes, flora, and fauna. Through these recreations of nature, I seek to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection revolving around an enduring and timeless subject matter.â
