Suzette Terry

Suzette Terry is an accomplished painter who has been working primarily with acrylics and mixed media/collage since 1990. Her vibrant pieces are widely collected and can be found in three galleries across Ontario: Karger Gallery, Elora, Craig Gallery, Meaford and Marten Arts Gallery, Bayfield.

Having spent her early years in the picturesque town of Fergus, eleven in Port Stanley, two in Kitchener, Twelve in Meaford on Georgian Bay. All of these places have left a mark on her work and her scope of expression. Her subjects range from the human figure to vibrant landscapes, her mediums follow suit, ranging from work both in oil and acrylic, to printmaking and mixed media collages. It is this shifting of gears from one medium to the next that spurs Suzette to new and innovative discoveries in both technique and content.

Bold form and strong colours are the mark of her style. She has built on her influences: the colours of the Fauves, the abstraction of Picasso, and the simplicity of Matisse. A trip to Europe with visits to seven major museums and galleries has laid the groundwork for further exciting explorations in her work; including working on large scale canvases. Subject matter ranges from Northern landscapes, to floral still life, abstracts and figurative imagery.

Suzette takes her inspiration from the natural world. Her landscapes burst with colour and energy, expressing her Passion for the rocks, trees and shorelines and vistas found both in Killarney & Algonquin Provincial Parks and across Grey Bruce County where she resides.

In addition to creating art Suzette has taught many workshops, including Paint Jams, and lectures around Central and Southern Ontario, encouraging and inspiring other artists.

At the close of 2023 Suzette has had 24 solo exhibitions and participated in numerous juried and group shows. Her work can be found in private and public collections in Canada, the United States, England, Australia, and China. Website: www.suzette-terry.com Instagram: suzette.terry
