Artist Background
Born in Portglenone in 1964, Terry has worked as a professional artist in Belfast since graduating in Fine Art from the University of Ulster's College of Art in 1990. He is a founder member of the Emperor's New Clothes Group and is part of the excellent Queen Street Studios Group in the city. He has exhibited work throughout Ireland including the Royal Hibernian Academy in 2005 and the Royal Ulster Academy in 2000, and his work is in numerous collections including the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. Locally, Terry has been heavily involved in the "Heal" project sponsored by Queens University and the Belfast Hospitals and his current work based on cloud formations derives from the commission for the SE Belfast Trust. It has been well received in publications such as 'Circa' and exhibited widely, with six of the panels purchased by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for their permanent collection.
