Teresa McDowell is a Treaty 3 Ojibwe artist. Born in Baudette, Minnesota, to Canadian parents, she was raised in Rainy River, Ontario. Teresa started drawing at a young age and it was her main artform until her mid-twenties, when she started painting with acrylics. She is a self-taught beadwork artist who makes a variety of leather items including traditional moccasins, mukluks, and mittens.
Teresa has received several Individual Artist grants, and the Anishinaabe Arts Initiative Fellowship through Region 2 Arts.
She currently lives in Williams, Minnesota and is the Vice-president of the Lake of the Woods Art Guild.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota, through grant from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
