In1977 she attended a course on printmaking at the Wimbledon School of Art. Tessa’s first solo exhibition was held at the Annexe Gallery, Wimbledon in 1979. Her work was included in mixed exhibitions at Crane Kalman Gallery between 1995 and 1997, followed by many one man shows. Tessa has works in public collections including the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester and the Bradford Metropolitan Museum. Tessa and author Phillip Vann worked on a book entitled "Tessa Newcomb" (Sansom & Company 2010). Tessa also published a number of books with Sansom & Company including “The Adorable Plot”(2012) and “Tessa Newcomb’s Paris”(2014). She also collaborated with Jason Gathorne - Hardy on "An Artist in the Garden", published by Full Circle Editions (2012).
“I might sit somewhere not too obvious and start drawing. Often something happens, someone passes, a dog appears, the light changes. That gets incorporated into the drawing. When I am back home I choose one of the boards I’ve previously prepared with washes of oil paint and start painting from the drawings. What with remembering what I saw when I was drawing, half listening to the radio and thinking about other things, a story emerges. The title comes last.” -
