Awesome Finds: ART: Terry Smith
I am a HUGE fan of art. All art. Outsider art, folk art, classic, you name it I love it. So when I first came across Terry Smith's pieces I knew I had to have one. Terry's pieces are not only beautiful but so affordable. Which is fantastic for an art lover with a tight budget like myself.

Terry has been making art in one form or another for 30 years or more. Starting out with sketching and eventually becoming a graphic artist. She also is an avid photographer and more recently an amazing painter.

When asked to tell a little about her art she says,
"I paint images that touch me in some way, inspire me to want to paint it. I'm probably more attracted to nature than anything. Each one takes quite a few hours and days, so it has to be interesting enough to me to hold my attention. With the graphics, I do commissions and free-lance, but not with the fine art, it would take the joy out of it for me. I do them for me. They're good for my soul. I also find I learn something about each subject as I paint or sketch, because I'm really looking at it, find new details I missed at first glance."

What does the future look like for Terry?
She is hoping to pursue a fine arts degree with a major in painting. "I'd really like to immerse myself in it for a time, learn, learn... and try different mediums." She says.
I can see big things happening for Terry in the future and look forward to seeing all her new pieces.I love Terry's pieces and have one hanging in my home, every time I pass it I stop and enjoy the smile it brings to my day. If you are an art lover I highly recommend visiting her facebook page to see her other amazing paintings and her photography. Now is the perfect time to pick up one of her pieces as well before she becomes super famous and expensive :)

I was in no way paid in any form to write this review. It's a sharing of an Awesome Find that deserves mentioning.
