From an early age, Teresa Kogut felt compelled to draw and
paint, often with the encouragement of her teachers and family.
As she grew up into a practical young woman, she began to think
that painting was something one did for enjoyment, not as a
serious career. Her head told her to be practical, but her heart
told her another story. Eventually her heart won, and she made
the switch to Fine Art in college.
 In
1994, Teresa and her husband, Kevin, started a wholesale
business selling Teresa's framed art to retailers across the
nation. She became overwhelmed by the business side of their
company, Primitive Folk, and found little time to paint.
However, in 1997 that all changed when agent Linda McDonald
introduced Teresa to licensing. Licensing her art meant Teresa
would get back to her first love, painting. The two began a
professional and personal relationship that has brought
prosperity to each and hundreds of products to consumers hungry
for her designs. Products range from greeting cards and
calendars to resin figurines and quilting fabric. Teresa's dream
of designing and painting while staying at home with her husband
and children became a reality even beyond her wildest dreams.
Teresa's whimsical designs and folk art color palette are
favorites among quilters. She makes her Marcus Fabrics debut
with two collections, Halloween
Dance and Winter
Friendships. Each line features Teresa's lovable characters
along with several coordinating patterns that combine to create
colorful and fun-filled quilts, crafts & home décor
accents.
