I'm a parent of grown daughters and grandmother, work in my community for social change, travel, read a lot, bike, create art, and spend time with friends and family. I'm honest, smart, energetic, work really hard for my clients, and fortunately don't need too much sleep.

Image Arts is about hair and makeup. The little company is owned by Teresa Callen, hair designer and makeup artist in Menlo Park, California. She does hair at Textures salon on Santa Cruz Avenue. Her specialty is high performance hair for active individuals that prefer a "less is more" approach to looking great. Teresa is best with hair that has natural wave or curl. Teresa's love of cycling started before her kindergarten year when her brother went off to school and left his new bike in her care. After one day she was off on two wheels and still keeps the wheels turning to this day. Image Arts is delighted that Velo Girls has done so much for women's cycling and is very happy to support the club.
