“A city like Portsmouth can get frozen in time,” says Teixeira. The port city is known for its historical elements but that’s no reason to get entrenched in the past.

Why not integrate new art with the more traditional pieces that already live on the walls of Portsmouth?” - Painting Portsmouth, December 2017
