“Warm
and cool color on form is my main interest as a painter”. |

Terry is a contemporary realist with a B.A. degree in
Art from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. After graduation
in 1979, she returned to her home by the sea and began her career as
a teacher and painter, inspired by the beautiful light of the coastal
Carolinas. She met and married her artist/husband Ken Buckner and they decided to design and build a unique studio and gallery as a place to work and show their latest creations. Doe Creek Gallery was opened in 1990 in Supply, N.C. between Wilmington, N.C. and Myrtle Beach, S.C. She also began exhibiting her work in Naples, Florida at Port Royal Gallery, Gallery One and the Neapolitan Gallery. She was recently invited by Clark Art, the oldest gallery in Raleigh, N.C. to participate in the large and prestigious Drawings and Watercolors Fair in London, England. Her paintings and signed and numbered limited edition prints are included in many private and corporate collections across the country and outside of the United States. Terry’s watercolors and oils contain color harmonies and a luminosity rarely seen in contemporary art. She is interested in a variety of subject matter from nautical to the human figure. Her fascination with the figure led to many portrait commissions of adults and children and in February of 2001, she joined Portraits South, a national portrait agency, headquartered in Raleigh, N.C. Within a year, she was recognized at the agency’s annual meeting for being in the top 8% of successful portrait deliveries. In 2003 Terry was commissioned by the University of N.C. at Wilmington to paint the portrait of Vice Chancellor Dr. Robert Tyndall, former Dean of Education there. Terry plans to continue exploring her love of color in her portraits and other subject matter while continuing to grow as an artist and living on the beautiful coast of North Carolina. |
