Deep in the Heart, Twelve Texas Artists to Collect
TERRI M. WELLS
Where do you live and work? I live in Austin, TX. I paint primarily on location throughout the United States. In my studio, I create work derived from those experiences.
What are your favorite subjects to paint? I am drawn to wide-open, strong landscapes. The wilder they are, the more I like them.
How would you describe your style? My style is loose and expressive. I am committed to conveying to the viewer the full experience of a location.
Where did you study art? I studied at the Blossom School of Art, Kent State University, and Iowa State University; I’ve also attended many professional art workshops.
What is your proudest art accomplishment?
That’s hard to answer. Right now I’m most excited about the work I’ve been doing as a Texas State Parks Centennial Painter. Some of the work I’m creating as part of that program will be on view in May in the Texas Aesthetics show at Foltz Fine Art. An accompanying coffee-table book will be published next year, and a traveling exhibition will visit multiple museums in Texas in 2023.
When you’re not creating art, what else do you enjoy doing? Hiking, reading, gardening,
and cooking with friends and family. And I bang out some jazz on my piano once in a while.
