Terry was born in a small rural town of Castlemaine in central Victoria, Australia.
The second eldest son of a gold miner, life brought its challenges in the early years.
As a young man he was inspired by the countryside around him and as he began to draw,
so began the ache in his heart for an artistic career. From a very young age Terry always
desired to draw and paint anything that presented itself, animals, landscape, kitchen
utensils, interiors, exteriors, people, etc., etc., etc. Nothing escaped him; it had to be
portrayed in some way on paper or canvas.
He was encouraged with his first solo exhibition, which featured 24 black & white
sketches of the local gold mining area. It was a sell out except for two pieces kept for the
Artist’s private collection. Since this humble beginning, he is now one of Australia’s
most sought after Artists, particularly in the field of watercolour. He works in other
mediums, oils, pastels, acrylics, and drawing very successfully, with watercolour being
his favourite. His subject matter is varied from landscape, seascape, and garden
corners, capturing the romantic and melancholic splendour of this great land of Australia
and the wonderful European street scenes and vistas he so loves
A gifted teacher of his craft, his students have become multiple award winners in
their own right. His watercolour workshops in Australia and overseas always fill quickly.
Terry is also a much sought after Judge for Art Shows, his integrity and honesty in this
field places him in constant demand. Terry, together with his wife Beverley, operate Bethany
Gallery in Bendigo, in central Victoria, Australia.
