Terri Meyer Artist

Meet Terri Meyer - Artist

Art has always been an integral part of my life since I was a child. It was my escape and “happy place” when I didn’t understand or was stressed by the world around me. The creative process calms my soul and connects me with the spiritual side of life. Creating is the way I share my life with others; through this lens, people see beauty through my interpretation.

My art training has come from practice, persistence, studying under well-established artists, art books, and videos. Learning is the cornerstone of my artistic journey. We all have gifts to share with each other. Mine is creativity. I hope to inspire you to find your path that brings joy to your soul and that you will share it with others.

Artist and entrepreneur Terri Meyer have been a painter, sculptor, and business owner for over 20 years. Her style is traditional and representational with a contemporary flair.  Painting and sculpting from life is her passion. She strives to continue improving in art mastery, sharing her journey with those who appreciate the dedication and perseverance it takes to translate energy into art. When you stop and embrace nature, it will reveal its splendor beyond what words describe it. Translating this beauty into successful paintings makes the art experience spiritual.
