Ink on Paper 2: Random Acts of Whimsy

Terry’s ink and watercolor paintings continue her exploration of whimsical action, theatrical energy, and choreographic movement. These works immerse the viewer in dynamic compositions where figures and abstract elements engage in a playful dance of motion and interaction.

Characterized by a bold fusion of stylized figures and geometric abstraction, these paintings feature a recurring female figure with curly hair, often depicted in fluid motion. The contrast between delicate, expressive lines and solid blocks of color creates a striking interplay of positive and negative space, enhancing the sense of depth and movement.

​

By balancing representational and abstract elements, Terry’s work invites the viewer to explore the relationship between figure and form. The minimalist aesthetic, combined with bold color choices, lends a modern, graphic sensibility, while the playful compositions and expressive gestures retain a lighthearted charm. Each piece captures a moment of lively spontaneity, transforming everyday movement into an artistic celebration of rhythm, energy, and storytelling.
