Brisbane born artist Terry Wilkinson has lived in the Redlands for the past 15 years. Her work covers a broad range of subjects, everything interests her. She mainly works in pastels and oils but likes to use other mediums as well.
She joined the Pastel Society of Australia in 1984 and was tutored by Les McDonough who encouraged her to go professional in 1985. In 1988 she was elected a Master Pastellist. Terry attends lots of workshops in a constant quest to learn more and try different techniques.
At age 9 she was privileged to win a scholarship to be tutored by the late Vida Lahey at the old Brisbane Art Gallery at Bowen Hills. Because of this she gets a great deal of pleasure in teaching and passing on ideas to her students. Terry travels frequently to the country to take workshops and also teaches at her home studio.
She spent 1988 studying full time at the Mt Gravatt College of TAFE with Robbie Barnes and received a certificate of Art & Design and Painting. Her work is held in many private collections in Australia and overseas, also in various galleries.
