Terry’s unique use of optical color mixing, action lines, and decisive paint strokes are influences of importance that California artists introduced to her while earning an MFA at University of California Fullerton. Terry’s work is a distinct visual language addressing environmental and social concerns of local culture and the environment of her Maui home.
Terry’s current body of work focuses a finely tuned, artistic eye upon Hawaiian culture. Influenced by local heritage and tradition, she reveals an inspired view of vintage buildings and landscape. As an interpretive painter, she explores her subjects through mediums of oil paint, archival inks, acrylic, resins, and encaustic on panel or canvas. Terry explores pattern and color choices, sometimes through a subtle graphic style, and the perspective of a contemporary artist.
