About the Artist

Terrie Lombardi's goal in painting is to create images that reflect both the beauty and dignity of her subjects. Many of her paintings present a close-up view of objects that are cropped or singled out. "Pastels and oils are the perfect solution for my rich use of expressive colors and shadows."

Terrie was born and raised in Denver and has been painting for over 25 years.. Through her highly personal vision and signature technique, her work is characterized by her sensitive yet bravado approach. The intimate discoveries depicted in her subject matter are celebrated in her gutsy application of pastel or oil in rich, expressive color and shadows. She has studied at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and the Art Students League of Denver. She has also participated in numerous workshops with instructors such as Tony Ortega, Carol Katchen, Quang Ho, Kang Cho, Albert Handell, Lorenzo Chavez, Doug Dawson, Desmond O'Hagen, and Kevin Weckbach.

Terrie is an active member with the Pastel Society of America, and the Pastel Society of Colorado. She is also currently teaching Pastel workshops at Foothills Art Center, Golden, Colorado.
