Terry is a native Coloradan and an outdoor girl. Although she earned her college degree in an outdoor related field, art found her along the way. While employed most of her life as an award-winning graphic designer at CSU, Terry pursued a parallel path in fine art. She is primarily a watercolor artist specializing in animal and people portraits. Together, she and her husband published a children’s ABC book featuring her animal paintings and they are available in stores locally. Always evolving, she began creating handmade books and found her muse. Her delightful Art Books are completely handmade using a unique paper dyeing process. Covers are created with a variety of collage/mixed media items or materials. Every book is designed with a distinct personality, and each page is a piece of art on its own. Both their handmade and intentional imperfections add to their beauty. In her free time, Terry and her husband, Pat, like to take adventurous vacations, ride their bikes, hike in the nearby hills and mountains, and often take trips where he flyfishes and she paints.
