![]() ABOUT TERRY Terry is from Redlands, CA and a national award-winning artist. She recently won Best Entry Depicting an Afghan Hound, and 3rd place in the sculpture category, with her bronze sculpture "Mija" at the highly acclaimed national juried exhibition "Art Show at the Dog Show 2008" in Wichita, Kansas. Her oil painting "Fetch," which is part of a series of paintings she did called "Afghan Hounds in Motion," also received Best Entry Depicting a Performance Event.
She began her love for art as a young girl working in ceramics with her mother who also loved creating art. Art has always been a part of Terry’s life. As a breeder of top winning Afghan Hounds for over 35 years, her dogs have been her inspiration in her paintings and her sculptures. She interjects whimsical qualities in her artwork, capturing the spirit and the almost human like qualities of her animals in real life situations. Terry is an avid plein air artist and one of the founding members of the Plein Air Artists of Riverside. She is currently the President and is helping to grow the organization into a well-known and respected group. Fascinated with impressionistic style paintings like those of Monet, she sought out to learn a style of painting that would enhance her abilities by adding color and light to her subjects not only in her studio but on location as well. Capturing the light is the most important part of her paintings. "Painting in plein air has given me a new way to see light and capture it in my paintings. The challenge is to capture it quickly, as it doesn't wait for you."
Mission Statement:
I want to turn out paintings and sculptures that show movement,
emotion, and bring a sense of happiness to those who see them and
own them. When people tell me I have accomplished this, I feel
I have done my job as an artist!
