Terri Ford

Artist's Statement / Background

Award winning artist Terri Ford creates pastel paintings both en plein air and in her studio.  Terri's works includes California landscapes, from the Bay Area, Coyote Valley, Napa, Carmel & the Central Coast, as well as paintings from her travels to France, Italy, Ireland, England, Mexico and New York. Many of her painting include barns and bridges, and other bits of old architecture that she is attracted to. Terri's style is representational with an impressionistic twist.

Terri's work has been published in The Pastel Journal, The Artist's Magazine, American Artist, Plein Air New Mexico and The Richeson Fine Art Series.

Terri teaches workshops both at home and abroad. She will be a demonstrator at the International Association of Pastel Society's 2009 Convention. To learn more about Terri and see more of her work, visit her website.
