From the mid-1970s and on, Terry Cooke Halls passion for art has led her to countless courses and workshops in life drawing, graphic design, and illustration, exploring the three main foundations of art shape, value, and color. Terry spent 20 years working in the corporate world followed by co-owning a commercial art business with her sister, operating throughout San Diego County.
In 2006, Terry focused exclusively on developing a fine art career with strong roots in California Impressionism, eventually transitioning into a fine art career as a professional artist in 2009. She has since earned numerous awards while exhibiting in more than 30 major museum shows along with several gallery group exhibitions.
Terrys work, featured in several national magazines, most recently in the Jan-Feb 2022 Art of the West, has been purchased by both corporate and private collectors across the nation. Now residing in Bozeman, Montana, her contemporary style is a result of exploring the colors and essence of the West, viewed through the lens of more than 30 years of work in design and illustration.
