Terry Head has dabbled in art since childhood. She grew up in NE Texas, finished beauty school, married and moved to Ft Worth.

For the last 25 years, she and her husband, Arland, have lived in Baton Rouge.They finished raising and homeschooling their six children. As members of Healing Place Church, they all developed creative disciplines in stage production, event planning, sound and technical design. With the youngest three children on stage and backstage, she volunteered backstage with Baton Rouge Little Theatre. After that, they designed and built sets and costumes for Playmakers of Baton Rouge.

In 2009, as the children grew up, moved on and away, Terry entered the beautiful arena of Mary Kay. Lots of people skills and creative product presentation is helpful to build a direct sales business.

In 2021, Terry and Arland (and their oldest son) had attended to her dad for almost 4 years in their home. 3 of those years had become hospice. What had been a somewhat estranged relationship, had a happier ending in April.

Toward the end of that same summer, uncertainty loomed dark as her and Arland faced a brush with a virus and medical care that nearly overwhelmed them. Recovery was intentional. And progressive.

No going back. No giving up. No more status quo.

By January of 2022, Terry felt led to plunge into a well-developed online art curriculum and community. She began to engage in painting as a priority.

After a year of expressive development., she felt ready to take the next step —join a live, local painting community.

February 2023, she moved into a creative work space at Studio 9170. These connections and encouragement have brought her into several shows and developed more imagination.
