Terry Anderson started painting in order to externalize internal images and to illuminate early feeling-states. Much of the work, therefore, is a reflection of the unconscious made conscious...portals to the soul...a personal exploration. Many are metaphors, symbols of affective experiences and of dreamlife. Some are the relation of a worldview, others simply recurring images that insisted on the light.
Terry works in charcoal and pastels, has been painting 14 years, and is self-taught.
“A virtue, he said, is to keep alive the memory of whatever has affected him, whose only way to say thank you for a lifetime sense of wonder at the mystery and beauty of being, was by this act of magical creation, and of storing in his soul whatever he has loved.” -- Unknown
“All art is at its core an articulaton of a single impulse: to affirm life's timeless and fractured beauty in the face of mortality.” -- Unknown
