About

 Terri grew up as an only child in rural Virginia, where imagination and nature were her closest companions. Later, she followed her heart to the South Carolina coast - a longtime favorite vacation spot filled with memories of sandcastles, seashells, and endless inspiration.

Nature has always been a steady theme in her life. What began as sketching wild animals grew into a deeper artistic journey. Over time, Terri discovered a special affection for broken shells - their layers, patterns, and imperfections telling silent stories. There's something profoundly beautiful in those once-lived-in havens, tumbled and fractured by the sea, their lines and curves shaped lovingly by our Creator. On canvas, they come alive again—reminders that even what’s weathered can still shine.
