Terry, as conventional as he may look and sound, is not afraid of letting others see his true self, however vulnerable. "Opening myself to the work is my passion," he said. "The great risk, and the great boon, of this: is that of having your spirit witnessed by people. And sometimes, appreciated. Perhaps people will see it and relate, or identify with it. Perhaps not."

Thus, the purpose of this website is to solicit feedback from viewers. Though the work is for sale (the site) is mainly an attempt to discern if the images resonate with others, and to see if the feelings involved in the creation are heard and shared.

Ephemeral, explorations of the soul's inner meaning, recordings of life's actuality, moody spectacles, these are the elements of Terry Anderson's works. Haunting yet tangible, each of his pastel paintings and charcoal drawings reflect the complex message he delivers to the viewer. From whence does this message flow? His childhood, his adolescence and his adulthood to date are all represented in his art work.

He presents an irresistible invitation to join him as you immerse yourself in these characterizations of his walking and sleeping reality as the colors draw you into the works -- while the edges shimmer into the grey world of imagination.
