Terri Kelly Moyers
Terri Kelly Moyers says she cannot recall a time when she wanted to be anything other than an artist. Since she drew animals as a child, she has consistently directed most of her time and energy towards pursuing that goal, beginning with her early studies in art.
She also believes she has been fortunate to be able to study with a number of fine artists, including Robert Lougheed, Bob Kuhn, Kenneth Riley, Howard Terpning, Ned Jacob, Clarence Tillenius and William Moyers, the noted Cowboy artist who is also her father-in-law.
Like her husband, Moyers is an ardent advocate of plein air painting. She is convinced that working out-of-doors is the finest means of growing as a painter, learning to see and interpret the ever-changing atmosphere and light.
“I put things down I think are beautiful and that move me. I want to share what I see with other people and help them have the same pleasure I have. Each artist interprets and edits things in a different way, infusing his work with a different quality or emotion.”
Moyers’ work is featured at Nedra Matteucci Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Claggett/Rey Gallery, Vail, Colorado.
In 1996, she won the Fredric Remington Award for artistic merit for her painting, A Moment’s Pause, sharing the honor with sculptor Mehl Lawson. The painting also won the Buyer’s Choice Award at the 1996 Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition and Sale.
