Processes she chooses to employ include Relief, Intaglio, and Planography, all rooted deep in the history of printmaking. In her work you can witness the evidence of life, the direct mark of the tools and the human hand.

erri’s artwork reflects the value she holds for the planet; her observations of atmosphere, earth, and water clearly express this passion. In the studio, she strives for sustainability through non-toxic practices, “ In my daily routine of life, whether gardening or printmaking, I am responsible for creating my existence.”

There is a whimsical side to Terri's artwork as she constantly revisits the theme of the Chinese Zodiac. Her relief prints range in size from 2" square engravings up to 5' tall woodcuts. Often these larger blocks are printed with road equipment in some parking lot!

​As an Artist and Educator through the decades, Terri has been involved with the community, sharing knowledge, inspiring artists of all ages, and connecting community. Her artwork has been exhibited regionally, nationally, and internationally through a span of four decades.
