Terry Eldridge

Mixed Media Artist and Instructor

Terry is an award winning, published mixed media artist and instructor who discovered her talents later in life after an initial career in Child Advocacy (she had a son with cerebral palsy who passed away in 2003 and was a huge guiding light and inspiration to so many including her), and a second career in real estate. Throughout her adult life, Terry was always working on creative projects from renovating houses, to quilting, and creating stained glass work. Fast forward to her late 50's and she decided to hone her skills in fine art. Her personal art work focuses mainly on abstract landscapes and is heavily influenced by her travels. Her mixed media art uses a combination of materials including her own handprinted custom papers. Combining bits and pieces of techniques she has learned over the years, she developed a unique process for creating authentic, intuitive art, and honing in on a truly personal style, which she now teaches to others. The process helps her students find their artistic voice, and hone in on the type of art that feeds their soul and tells the stories they want to share with the world. Her greatest joy is seeing the success and enthusiasm of her students when they realize they have incredible talent and skills. They just need a little guidance to help uncover them! Terry teaches both live and online classes, and hosts an annual creative and wellness retreat in Costa Rica.
