Teri Adams-Fjellman: Owner, Artist

24 years ago, cancer forced owner and artist Teri to step away from the classroom. During her healing journey, Teri found solace in her art, gravitating toward silk painting and jewelry. Creating art allowed Teri to enter a peaceful, reflective space that she believes is where true healing begins. Just three days after her first cancer surgery, a Destination Company invited Teri to demonstrate her art at a reception hosted by Southern Colorado’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel. Unbeknownst to Teri, this event was for 250 meeting planners from across the United States. Two weeks after the demonstration, she received a call asking if she could lead a jewelry workshop for spouses attending an upcoming conference. And so, blessings! Jewelry and Art Workshops was born—a venture that has since grown into Elevated Art Experience and 6758' Gifting. Teri’s passion remains making art accessible to everyone, offering it both as a means to spark creativity for problem solving and as a tool for healing. She firmly believes that everyone has the innate ability to create; sometimes, all that’s needed is a bit of guidance.
