Terry Denson’s works display the vibrant colors of the Caribbean, the Southwest, and Florida as well as the more muted tones of Maine and the Chesapeake Bay. She seeks to capture the dramatic contrast between color saturated subjects and deep shadows. Her large format watercolor paintings of tropic foliage are in high demand.
 
She has been an Army officer, public affairs officer for a Texas state agency, a management consultant and training designer, a full time cruising sailor, and a real estate agent. She began studying watercolor in 1995, shortly before beginning an extended sailboat cruise of the Eastern US, Bahamas, Caribbean, & Central America. Seeking a medium that fit the limited space aboard her sailboat, Door Into Summer, she chose watercolors. After returning to land life she expanded to acrylic and oil painting but transparent watercolors remain her primary medium.

It was not until 2003 she had the opportunity to become a full-time artist. She was initially self taught and has continued to study in workshops throughout the country with nationally recognized artists. She has also attended formal drawing instruction at several schools in Maryland including the Maryland Institute, College of Art.

She displays at art festivals throughout Florida and the Eastern United States where she receives frequent awards. Her works can be seen on her website: www.terrydenson.com and at William Vincent Gallery in St. Pete Beach, and the Suntan Art Center, St. Pete Beach.

She is active in the arts community in St. Petersburg and has served as president of the Suntan Art Center. She is a member of AWS, NWS, TWSA, and FWS.
