About Terri

Terri is a California-born Australian working from her home studio in the Noosa Hinterland of Queensland. A primarily self-taught artist in oils and mixed media, her application to art was preceded by graduate studies in human movement and professional careers including teaching at the university level for over 20 years in science and communication.

Horses have filled her life’s most treasured chapters – from riding through redwood forests in her youth to competing in eventing. Terri’s ability to represent their character and physicality has led to her specialising in equine portraiture.

Terri’s art also reveals her sense of adventure and appreciation of natural environments, especially for her beloved ocean where she swims or surfs most mornings.

The themes of risk, challenge, learning and opportunity have been integral to her recent but deep dive into creating full time. Terri has exhibited internationally and featured as a finalist in several art awards in Australia. Most recently she is the Winner of the Fédération Equestre Internationale Horse of My ART Prize - she will be exhibiting her artwork as VIP guest of the FEI at the Longines League of Nations Jumping Final October 2026.
