Terry studied at Swindon School of Art, gaining his BA (Hons.) in Design/Illustration in 1999.  He has since worked as a freelance illustrator and college lecturer until 2006, when he decided to concentrate on painting full time.

Terry work’s mainly in acrylic and oils, using sgraffito, impasto, gestural and other techniques to express; light, form, colour, texture and movement.  He enjoys producing representational and abstract paintings.

Terry is often inspired by specific locations, a certain light or purity of colour.  He has a deep appreciation for architecture and uses architectural elements within his paintings, - evoking a sense of harmony between man-made structures and the land, through the use of rich colour and dynamic shapes, interwoven between transparent layers of paint.
