Terri Ford, a native Calfornian, has traveled extensively
throughout Europe and Mexico. Her pastel paintings include landscapes, portraits and most recently the
splendors of Paris, the backroads of France, and Italy
...Cortona, Tuscany, Florence, and Venice.
Although a studio artist for many years, she now focuses on painting en plein air
"My pastel paintings are rendered in representational and impressionistic style. Not meant to be clever or
symbolic, my work is a personal and human response to the subject. Whether loose or tightly rendered I strive to
convey an honest and compassionate portrayal of all that
I paint. My interest lies in creating paintings that reflect the extraordinary character within the ordinary."
Terri's memberships include:
International Association of Pastel Societies - Masters Circle
Pastel Society of America - Signature Member
Pastel Society of the West Coast - Distinguished Pastelist
Pastel Society of New Mexico - Signature Member
Sierra Pastel Society - Signature Member
"Terri's work reflects her keen sense of observation. Light and shadows weaving across a tapestry of textures and vibrant colors are a trademark of this outstanding artist."
Michael Dancer
"...the secret to beautiful work lies to a great extent in truth and sincere sentiment."
Vincent Van Gogh
