Raising our game together

A great partner recognizes your potential. They understand when an opportunity comes along that’s too good to pass up. Having watched you prepare, they know better than anyone that you’re ready to advance to the next round. And that the only place they want to be is by your side.

As we begin our next chapter as Pinnacle Financial Partners, we’re thrilled to continue our longtime relationship with five-time PGA TOUR winner Russell Henley and renowned artist, author and entrepreneur Teil Henley.

As our brand ambassadors, the Henleys are a model of how effective advice from the right partner is key to fulfilling potential in golf, business and life. The aspirational and inspirational Georgia natives generously open up about adapting to changes together, both in their careers and as busy parents raising three children in Columbus, Georgia.

Teil Duncan Henley

Birthplace: Columbus, Georgia
Residence: Columbus, Georgia
Family: Husband, Russell, and three children
Education: Auburn University
Instagram: @teilart
Website: teilart.com

Career: Fine art painter. According to Teil, she is inspired by light, movement, surprising color combinations, social interaction and patterns. Her goal is to infuse these elements and form abstracted, pixilated compositions. No matter the subject, she strives to portray a balance of realism combined with loose abstraction, causing one to complement the other.
Fashion style: “Clean and comfy with an edge! I think because my studio is a mess, and my life is so fast paced with work, babies and travel, I like to feel put together to counterbalance that.”
Favorite paint color: “Right now, washed indigo!”

Favorite Instagram account: “It’s close to impossible for me to choose a single favorite Instagram account. I love looking at Schumacher and all the beautifully designed rooms. I love Marysia Swim and her gorgeous branding. I also follow countless artists who blow me away on a daily basis.”



Teil’s textile and wallpaper line portrays the same bold colors found in her original paintings, while also bringing in neutral elements that pair well with the home you’ve already created. Whether enveloping you in a room or acting as a pop of color, we hope you find a pattern that speaks to you and makes you feel at home.

Watch for Teil's new product releases.
