Teri's journey into the world of art began in her childhood painting scenery on paper plates with her mom at the kitchen table. Although she started college as a commercial art major, she shifted to violin performance with a minor in design. Art has been a therapeutic outlet for Teri during challenging times - especially after the loss of her first daughter, when she began selling Christmas bulbs in local boutiques. Following an aggressive cancer diagnosis on New Year's Eve 2020, Teri found renewed inspiration in painting, leading to various artistic opportunities that brought her hope during her treatment. You can discover her work at Bronners CHRISTmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and various locations in the Pensacola area.
