The Very Terry Art Show

Welcome all! I am your host, Terry Ganey, and on this crazy 'show', we are going to be taking a peek into my world - my world of soul-searching, pencil-smudging, paint-splattering, and canvas-ripping; my art and soul.
Let me open up this show by telling you a bit about myself. I am a self-taught artist (gasp!) that has the pleasure of living on the east coast of NC, which basically means, I am lucky enough to enjoy the beauty of both the ocean and the country at the same time. Both of these unending muses influence my art - I love capturing the fierceness of the untamed ocean and the quiet beauty of a backwoods dirt road.
I have been drawing for as long as I remember, and apparently even longer still. My kindergarten teacher, sweet Mrs. Jacobs, who I have kept in contact with throughout the years, swears I drew some mittens and a chicken for class story time. (Now wondering, did she mean the chicken was wearing the mittens? On what? It's feet?) I swear I do not remember either.
Although I have always been drawing or painting, I did, for a time, get away from my one true love. I let life's angry tides carry me far away from my safe haven of artistic dwelling. But yeah, you probably figured out the story; I got my art groove back. As I neared my 40's, I panicked for some reason and decided I was going to have an 'early mid-life' crisis. I chopped my hair all off, dyed it bright red (apparently with accidental twinges of pink in it), and decided I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life working in a job that truly did not make me as happy as I am making my art. I mean, what kind of legacy was I leaving for my daughters? As Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life'.
Now, here I am, making a go of the old classic, 'follow your heart' deal. Its scary, its a bit overwhelming, but liberating at the same time. All I know at this point is that I am in love with art, I am in love with creating it, and I love it when people get that about me.
Well, that's all folks. Just don't forget to stay tuned to catch the next episode of The Very Terry Art Show...
