About Terry:
From as far back as I can remember art has been a part of my life, and during the past 20 plus years I’ve dabbled in one form or another in producing works of art. As most artists I started out doing pencil drawings, mainly fine detailed birds of prey. After a while, as is my nature, I wanted to find something a little less commercial, so I turned to using pen and inks, with a technique called “point and line”, once again fine detail being the main aim of my work, and this once again filled the void, but only for a short time.
Never having worked in watercolours before I looked at this as a challenge, and having seen work from one of the masters, Basil Ede, I then embarked on this new venture painting detailed studies of British songbirds and birds of Prey. (Photo of Tawny Owl) Living in East Anglia I found that the influx of artists meant that there could only be enough sales of work for so many painters so I then changed tack once again! I swapped paints and paper for timber and knives and came up with the idea of putting a carving into a glass box with lighting in, a great concept I thought and proceeded to call it a “Nature Box”, and with it came a great amount of newspaper and magazine coverage which helped enormously with sales. (Photo of Nature Box) After a while, once again, I rethought my game plan, the buying in and putting together of the boxes, glass and electrical parts become too time consuming and I really wanted to put more effort into making the carving itself a more prestigious centrepiece, so I abandoned the boxes and since then I’ve put all my time and effort into creating more detailed pieces of art, which to this day is the main aim of my work.
Since working as a professional carver in September 2012 I’ve created quite a few pieces of work for exhibiting and also some commissioned pieces, I have written an EBook called “A bird in the Hand…..” which is available on Amazon, a beginners carving manual “Secrets of the Bird Carver” which is available as an online manual from a link on my website. I’ve also written articles for:
“Dartford Living” magazine
“Woodcarving Illustrated” in the USA
“Suffolk & Norfolk Life”
“Woodcarving Magazine” UK
