Terry Jackson (artist)
Teresa (Terry) Ann Jackson (born on October 20, 1958 in Gawler Australia) is an award winning Wildlife Artist living in Adelaide South Australia.
Terry spent most of her adult life bringing up a family and began drawing when her children left home at the age of 47. Art was always a interest though, she produced one or two paintings and an interesting sculpture of a fist carved from of a piece of sandstone. She enjoyed arts and crafts helping out at her local primary school and helped decorate the sets and programs for the local Drama Group.
Although her focus is with her art work, in 2002 she had a short poem called "Senses" published in a book called "Of Laughter and Forgetting".
Her entry into graphite art began when she was given a print of a lion in graphite by UK artist Gary Hodges . From then on, she started drawing with more focus using wildlife as her main subject.
She entered the Campbelltown Council art show in April 2007 with a piece called "Pride and Joy" which won "Peoples Choice Award".
In May 2008, she entered a piece called "Happy Endings" in the prestigious Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize which was judged Highly Commended.
