Artist Statement:

the joy of opening a new box
of Crayolas? I certainly do.
I loved their fragrance and
the way the beautiful colors

influenced my decision to
study art.
Glass is my canvas. I apply
high fire enamels to create
non-objective or abstracted
opaque paintings. I fire the
work multiple times in a kiln
before it is completed.
I am a studio artist living in
Tallahassee, FL. I exhibited
my paintings and drawings for
many years. In a radical
departure, I decided to study
glass fusing. I initially

| Your Personal Biography |
Since she was very young, Terrie’s life has revolved around the visual and performing arts. She and her husband met during a rehearsal of the Charlotte (North Carolina) Symphony Orchestra. After they were married, they spent the first 15 years of their life together in Texas where Chuck performed as a jazz musician in the Dallas and Houston areas. Terrie pursued her undergraduate and graduate painting studies at Sam Houston State University while her husband taught music theory and percussion as a member of the music faculty. In the Fall of 2006, Terrie's kiln-fired painting 'Reflections' was juried into the International Competition entitled 'Ignite' where she received a 3rd place award. One of her pieces also appeared in the publication 'Best of Florida Artists' where she was awarded 2nd place in Art Glass. She received a 2004-2005 Enhancement Grant from the Florida Department of State and the South Florida Cultural Consortium. In 2007, she was one of 48 Florida artists awarded a grant to attend an Artists' Retreat sponsored by Creative Collateral, a non-profit arts organization in New York City, the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. She was one of 24 artists who attended the retreat in Seaside, FL.
Terrie is the Artists Representative on the Board at the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts.
