about terri

i’m an author-illustrator from akron, ohio who loves creating whimsical, mindful, and nature-based images that highlight the magic of ourselves and the world around us. i’m that girl with her head in the clouds, frantically jotting down ideas in her sketchbook and dreaming about how the world could be a better place. my art is a celebration of living slowly, a reminder of the magic of quiet moments. 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.

if you want to work with me, please fill out the form on the contact page. i’d love to illustrate your magical stories and ideas to bring them to life!
