Terri and her husband Dave live with their two active dogs and a very sleepy cat in Madison,WI. She is a graduate of UW-Madison, a lifelong Wisconsinite and delights in the beauty of the Midwestern landscape, particularly that of Northern Door County and of Central Wisconsin. As she states, “It gets into your very bones.” 

Her passion for painting was ignited while in high school but it wasn’t until midlife that she returned to seriously pursue art making. She calls it a second half of life pivot! Being part of a vibrant art community has taught, inspired and helped her to stay true to her artistic voice and call to create. 

Terri is drawn to abstract mixed medium painting, focusing on color, shape, layering, textures and marks. For her, the process is very intuitive, spiritual and interactive as the work unveils itself. Each painting becomes a place of discovery and hopefully invites the viewer into that as well.
