Teresa Funke, writer

Teresa has been a professional writer, speaker, instructor, playwright, blogger, and arts advocate for more than 30 years and has been the resident writing instructor at Blue Moose Art Gallery since January, 2020. Teresa has published nine books and writes a weekly inspirational blog for artists and entrepreneurs called Bursts of Brilliance for a Creative Life.  Teresa’s primary interest in arts advocacy lies in how artists have the ability to cross sectors and partner with business, government, nonprofits, education, organizations, and faith-based communities. She has launched several art and writing-related community partnerships in Fort Collins.  Teresa‘s love of the new and interesting brought her in 2023 to Feng Shui and the Enneagram. She was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, and has a degree in history. She’s married to Blue Moose woodworking artist, Roger Funke, and is the proud mother of three grown children.
