I've been involved with photography for 15 years since high school where I was the photo editor for the newspaper. After the theft of my K-1000 in 1986, I dropped out of photography until a year ago when I found a great deal on a ME-Super. I recently moved back to Nebraska after 4 years in Germany and purchased my first AF camera, a Minolta 400si.

Terry is a musician (vocalist), wife, mother and student with only one semester left until completion of her Computer Graphic Arts degree. However, art being the completely subjective form of communication that it is, she still considers herself to be self-taught for the most part. Much of her art reflects emotions and insights that have been revealed through musical expression, although a great deal of her finished work is accomplished purely from relentless experimentation. She is currently exploring possibilities in the field of Internet Publishing, and has recently formed her own company, "Slick St. Graphic Design". Although much of her time is now devoted to art in digital media, she still enjoys traditional fine art as well.

Media: Digital Art
I'm a 23-year old artist, author, and (aspiring!) freelance webdesigner & illustrator. I draw most of my illustrations in Fractal Design's Painter program, with a Wacom pressure tablet. Though I often experiment with a wide variety of subjects & drawing styles, I find myself returning most often to basic portraiture and depictions of the human form. Art, to me, is simply the best and purest method of communication; every illustration is my attempt to say something, to pull something out of my soul and express it more truly than I could in any other fashion. I aspire to reach the point where I can show someone my poems & drawings, and have them immediately understand who I am and what I have been trying to communicate, without need for any further words or gestures of any sort...

Media: Melted Crayon, 4 1/4" x 5 1/4"
This piece was an experiment. I didn't have any paints
so I melted my kid's crayons. (They didn't use them anymore.) I was impressed and inspired
by the intensity of the colors and did several pieces. I don't really recommend melted
crayons as a medium because the resulting paintings are delicate. If they are not handled
carefully, they can crack. You also have to be careful not to put them anyplace that is
going to get too hot, as they will re-melt.
I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I have wanted to be an artist for as far back as I
can remember. While other little girls dreamed of being teachers, nurses and dancers, I
just wanted to draw pictures. I married 1 year after my high school graduation, had two
babies and gave up my dream. But, I never stopped doodling and sketching. That's why I
call my web site "Sketcher's Gallery". I did manage to squeeze in some basic art
classes at the local community college, but there was never time or money for anything
more. Now, as a 45 year old grandmother, I have decided to take back my dream! I taught
myself HTML so that I could build the site that I wanted as a showcase for my work.
Currently I am teaching myself CorelDraw and I plan to enroll in the next session at the
Art Institute of Dallas. I may be the oldest student there, but the kids are going to get
a run for their money. Do I regret the time that I've lost? YES! And I intend to squeeze
everything I can out of the time that I have left.
