Wright began sculpting snow in 1994 after somebody had suggested that since she carved stone, she might enjoy carving snow. Since that first sculpture, Theressa has designed and been the lead sculptor / captain at events ranging across the country (Charlottetown, Quebec City, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Whitehorse) as well as in several Saskatchewan communities. Ouelette began sculpting snow in 2006 because it was something he could do with Theressa. Since 2006, he has worked on 28 sculptures with Theressa across Canada and overseas in Harbin China, Pontebba Italy, and Kiruna Sweden. The creation of the piece, if one were to stand back and watch for a while, seems to just happen as the tandem cut away chunks of snow here and there on the block, but it is actually a process that has been carefully planned.
