Teri H. Hoover grew up in Buffalo, NY, the eldest of six siblings in a challenging but tenacious home. Creativity was encouraged and she developed a love of drawing and painting. In the early 80's she attended Alfred University as an art student and met her husband of 40 years. While raising their two children she pursued a satisfying career in portrait photography. After joining the Blacksburg Regional Art Association in 2013 she returned to painting and is glad to be “back on track.”
Currently she is exploring the layering of generous amounts of acrylic paint to create scenes from nature. Her daily two mile walks offer respite, reset and inspiration. Just as nature layers one season upon the other, the layering of paint creates dynamic colors and rhythm.
As an emerging artist she is delighted to chat with you about any of her pieces. Feel free to reach out if you find a piece that interests you.
“The world is full of imperfect and illuminating connections.”
