TERRI BURRIS

Terri Burris was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in sunny Hermosa Beach, where she developed her interest in art at an early age. After studying art in college, Terri went on to work as a graphic designer for 15 years. Bolstered in an extensive career in textile, graphic and ceramic design she eventually returned to her rst love, painting — a vocation that she pursues avidly.

Terri paints from focused perspectives of the natural world, ltered and infused with memory and nostalgia. Her intuitive use of color creates subtle layers of imagery that are unique to each subject. The textured, moody and poetic pieces incorporate crystallized collage fragments to provoke each individual’s own thoughts, feelings, memories and imagination.

Terri is a recipient of the Image-Ination Award and a selected artist of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Rental and Sales Gallery, and exhibits her works in numerous galleries and exhibitions. She continues to create living memories with her husband and son in her native Los Angeles.
