ABOUT TERRY GANEY
BIOGRAPHY
Terry Ganey, a self-taught artist from WIlmington, NC, works in multiple mediums because sometimes just one medium doesn't help her express what she is seeing in her head.
​
Her primary focus is art that is relevant to the Carolinas, including many city and seascapes.
​
She started out working in just acrylics, but since becoming an active member of the Wilmington Chapter of the Urban Sketchers, she has fallen in love with the combination of watercolors and inks. She loves that expressive, illustrative style she can accomplish with lines and washes.
​
Besides working in that classic combo (she loves the challenge of architecture), she loves to paint dramatic seascapes in acrylics and oils.
Terry is a member of the Art League of Leland, The Watercolor Society Of NC, and the National Watercolor Society.
When in Wilmington, you can visit her studio during open hours in TheArtWorks, which is located in the South Front District or you can reach her via email at terryganeystudio@gmail.com

Artist Statement
I like to create art like a composer writes a moving piece of music. I love the challenge of finding the perfect harmony between the fluid notes of watercolors and the lyrical linework of ink. I love it when my artwork sings of energetic city scenes, stormy seas, or serene landscapes. When my artwork can make someone actually feel the energy and emotion in my creative song, that’s when my heart is happy.
