Born in Texas, but raised in the Pacific Northwest on a farm east of Redmond, Terri has been creative from age 8.  She loved to draw, paint and design all kinds of things.     Terri’s mom took up oil painting first, and, with some heavy encouragement, got Terri started painting on her own in the early 1980’s.  Realizing that she needed some help, Terri signed up for a few art classes and ended up taking 18 years of art education.       Today, Terri’s paintings show a passion for glass, reflections, and a wide range of varied subject matter.  Sometimes funny, most often unusual, and always colorful, Terri’s paintings are never disappointing.

     “Through my teaching, painting, and other artistic endeavors, I hope to continue to learn and grow as an artist.  Outside of painting, I enjoy my family and friends, costume making; especially at Halloween time, going on motorcycle trips with my husband and our friends, and spending time with my grandkids.”
