Artist Statement:
"Exiled to the wilderness of
nonconformity I have found
comfort some place between Zen
and the professionally weird.
A paper-headed pajama-clad
raconteur translating
observations and reactions
with graphic pun and
insinuation, my work continues
to venture into the
absurdities of
socio-political, philosophical
and psychoanalytical themes."

| Your Personal Biography |
Born 1960
Self-educated
“I have found a great comfort not fitting in. Even growing up, I was always outside looking in… It’s much safer and friendlier out here in the wilderness.”
Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant that has called Los Angeles home since 1980.
Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience.
“It has been challenging, but I refuse to let the institutions get in the way of my education. Knowledge is now available at our fingertips. There is no excuse for ignorance. Ignorance has become a choice.”
Introduced to the Apple Macintosh in 1987 a love affair with digital art was born. Terri has never viewed computer generated imagery as a movement. The computer and software are tools. How the operator chooses to use them remains as individual as any other artist working in any other medium.
“I compare the work I create to advertising. It’s about formulating the right message first, and not becoming a sporting event half-time fiasco that baffles the viewer with high tech circus tricks.”
Terri’s approach is something that she terms a “whole-istic Zen,” which emulsifies decades of commercial and graphic arts expertise into pointed, often controversial visuals. Seasoning her images with pun and insinuation, all the while thumbing her nose at conventional wisdom and other popular absurdities.
She currently resides in Northeast Los Angeles with her husband, three cats and one boisterous macaw. |
