Terry uses the ancient technique of digital collage in the contemporary world of electronic media; combining and manipulating original photographs into dramatic and unique images. Chance associations of disparate visual elements and the subsequent images suggest a new and richer reality.

Her current show, West meets East, is created from images shot over the past eight years during many trips to China and Southeast Asia. The richly detailed and textured images show the contrast of chaos and harmony represented in these great Asian civilizations.

For this series I wanted a fresh approach to painting the hackneyed flower. I oversized the flowers and intentionally cropped them to break out of the picture plane.

Using vivid colors and layers of glazing I treated them more as sculptural and abstract elements, taking them to a realm beyond pretty yet mundane flowers.
