Award winning self taught Artist. Best known for her Batik paintings, featured on the covers of National Magazines such as Yankee and Readers Digest (National and International). Terri’s mixed media painting "The Muse" was chosen for Interlochen’s Second Annual Commemorative Summer Art Festival Limited Edition Poster 2003. Her acrylic painting "Ensemble Des Arts" was Interlochen’s first. Also this year, "La Cuisine Artiste" an acrylic painting was chosen for the Traverse City Art Centers Cook Book Cover.

Terri's work is collected worldwide; her strong sense of design along with her romantic nature and painterly qualities has brought international recognition, for her Batiks. Each of Terri's Batik paintings reveals a command of materials and techniques; She is considered to be one of Americas foremost Batik Artists. She has mastered the traditional method of overdying and combines that with more modern techniques. Her work features a wide range of colors and subtlety of hues, to complicated bright color combinations difficult to achieve in Batik. Her experimental work is fun and unusual.
