about terri

i’m an author-illustrator from akron, ohio and i love creating whimsical, mindful, and nature-based images that highlight the magic of ourselves and the world around us. i have my MFA in visual communication design and have been selling my art for over a decade. you can find me at my LIGHT THE WILD booth at art festivals and markets in northeast ohio!

when i’m not creating, i teach art, illustration, design, and storytelling. i'm passionate about helping others be the best version of themselves, whether that's through something i create, or something i teach.
