Terri Hill

Artist's Statement

I delight in adding intense color, personality, and unusual viewpoints in my still life subjects. I’m a studio painter, but have been known to ‘sneak’ in some outdoor painting time with activities going on around me, and once a week find myself painting with the “Wednesday Women of Watercolor” at University Art in San Jose.

Although I only discovered my love affair with watercolor in 2003, I find that my 27 years in the Graphic Communications Field has provided me with a highly developed eye for color and design. I’m excited about the exquisite way that the watercolor media allows me to blend and build with liquidity.

In addition to being well-known for bicycle paintings, I also can shift gears to satisfy a following that keep me busy painting food from the garden and vineyard, the desert, and amusement parks. This area is such a perfect place to be as a painter...the good life is wonderful for creating great art.
