From the floor of the butcher’s shop near the parish church of Santa Maria, via the gateway to the Rectory at Garriguella, as far as the studio in Carrer Major, Teresa’s place has always been near her family’s dwelling, as a child or as a mother. Thus, her biography is closely entwined with the biography of the place, according to the terminology borrowed from the great humanistic geography, and hers is very deeply rooted. Just as for Charles
Lamb's servants, her homes have been deeply planted and ”are not rooted up without blood”. And so, the Gallery where her works are displayed could not be too distant either. Opened in October 1976, the Galeria d’Art Banyoles was to last until the end of the century in a whirlwind of exhibitions, not only of the work of Teresa Vallmajó, who shows her paintings there almost every year, but of all the others who go to make up the local artistic tradition: from Lluís Roura to Clapera Mayà or Kim Gratacós, Benet Costa, Xicu Cabanyes, Manel Pigem or Granados Llimona.
