Terry was born into a family of artists and grew up in New York City. From the subway stations and sides of buildings, the galleries on Museum Row, art encompassed the city and captivated her.

       She began to draw and write from a fairly early age and hasn't stopped since.

     

         Graduating in 2010 from the School of Visual Arts with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts, she moved to Brooklyn with her French Bulldog confidant, Vinny and began a career as a portraitist. 

          

        Having an innate love of children's literature, Terry turned her attention to writing and illustration. Inspired by Vinny's antics, she wrote and illustrated her first children's book "Vinny Gets A Job". Terry is pleased to announce the release of her first book with Simon and Schuster in May of 2020.
