Bio:
Terri is a formally trained artist, maritime and oral historian. Terri attended the Texas A&M University, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Baylor University. Born in 1963 in Waukegan, Illinois, Terri took to art as soon as she was capable of holding a crayon. Through her entire childhood, Terri developed an appreciation for her surroundings and the unique people she met. She would often sit for hours with paper and pastels, or sit in a in marina with watercolor and pad. As she became older she started photographing, recording and videotaping life trying to capture moments and memories for posterity.
Her many years of expression in the arts made it clear that Terri's life would be centered upon her passion for it. She holds an Associates in Art and is completing her bachelor of arts in maritime studies. She plans to continue her studies pursuing a master's in oral history.
Terri is a professional artist and life historian. She lives in Dickinson, Texas with her husband Glen, two dogs, and one cat. She is a proud mother to her two sons and grandson.
