Tessa Shields

Hello! I'm Tessa Shields. I have a B.F.A. in Film Production and an Art Minor from Chapman University. I have lived and worked in Utah and California, but currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah as a freelance filmmaker, photographer, and artist.

artist, filmmaker, & photographer

I have always had a passion for nature, exploring the beauty of life on our planet through adventure, observation, and reflection. I understand myself as a woman and human being connected to the cycles of nature and all living things. The beauty and insight I continually experience inspires me to create art to empower, educate, and illuminate others through photography, documentary and narrative film, as well as digital art, graphic design, and many other mediums.

I am also endlessly fascinated by sound and music. My love for music has sent me on a life journey to express the beauty and mystery of song visually. I love collaborating with musicians to create visual art. In addition I continue to explore the science and mystery of sound in a documentary series that I have been creating in a collaboration with Marya Stark called, OUT OF THE SILENCE.

I am passionate about health and wellness and finally about women's wisdom. I feel deeply inspired to tell stories and make art that communicates the mythos and wisdom of women. I also facilitate workshops and gatherings with a focus on Women's Rites of Passage as a way to help women reconnect to their inner wisdom while honoring their cycles and connection to nature.
