Since joining St. Lucie Cultural Alliance, Terry has curated over 30 exhibitions at an array of distinctly different locations.
Terry’s early childhood love of paint, color, and form has led her down many paths. She began by studying fine arts at Columbus College of Art and Design with a concentration in painting and graduated with a BFA. Although canvas painting would remain her first love, she would discover new mediums and avenues through which to express her creativity. Among these, she owned and managed two art galleries, worked as a visual merchandiser, and began an unexpected journey that would take her across five Florida counties for the next few decades. Her business, Frame of Reference, allowed her to take paint to new limits on wall surfaces in homes, commercial spaces, and showrooms. Her projects involved creating faux finishes, trompe l’oeil, and murals, crafting interiors with ambiance and attitude.
