About

Fine Art by Terrie D, Tigard, OR

I am a retired paralegal. I have been drawing since I was very young and after I retired from my career my husband, during the 2020 Covid, said I should use my original artwork and create coloring books. I have since personally published four different coloring books and have a new coloring book in the process of becoming published this year (2026). I also created greeting cards using my original art. After creating my coloring books I decided to take time off to focus on my original fine art. I have been a vendor at the Eugene Art Festival two years and the Bull Run Farmers Market in Tigard the summer of 2025. In addition, I was a vendor at the Wilsonville High School Holiday Bazaar in 2025 and have applied again for this year (2026), the King City Lions Holiday Bazaar in 2025 and have applied again for this year, and our Park's Holiday Bazaar two years running. We would like to become vendors in six different Oregon Art Festivals in 2027, as well as continuing being vendors in the previously mentioned Holiday Festivals. My medium is colored pencils, PanPastels, and pastel pencils. My original art ranges from 9" x  12", 12" x 16", 12" x 18" up to 18" x 24". My prints vary in size. I have two websites, one for my fine art and one for my coloring books. My subjects range from pets (dogs, cats, ferrets) to wild animals (large cats, elephants, zebras, monkeys) to some Steampunk art, and floral arrangements and various flowers. I also have a patriotic series, which won an award in 2012 through the Oregon Lewis & Clark Chapter with the American Heritage Committee of the Oregon State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
