Artist Biography:
Terry was a most prolific artist. Beginning at 14, with his first art show in Coronado, California, he was immediately committed to a life of making art. The son of a Navy family, he traveled extensively throughout his youth, all the while, sketching and painting. In 1976, just out of high school, he trained in foundry work at Mt. San Jacinto College. In his 20’s he moved to Laguna Beach, where he worked in both, painting and sculpture. His success is shown throughout the region with the many public artworks that solidify his legacy as a master. He was a longtime artist at the Festival of Arts.
