Hello my name is Terri O'Connor and here is a little bit about me and my Art.

I’m a Artist of Native American and German Descent and come from a family of very talented brothers and sisters. My Father the late Bill Miller, Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohican was also an artist and was my best art critic. My mother Lenore C. Miller is still my biggest fan and I’m hers. My mother has always encouraged me in my art. She has always told me to just go for it and to keep my heart and mind open. She has always been my teacher in life.

I have always found inspirations thru events in my life and thru the appreciation of what Mother Earth sets before me. My main Specialty and love is pencil sketching although I have worked other mediums including oils, pastels, crayons and, charcoal.

My subjects range from facial portraits to full body portraits. I also do Animal portraits for all those animal lovers like myself. Most all of my original materials are of animals. I especially have a fondness for birds of prey and wolves.

I feel you need to capture your subjects by their eyes and expressions. Once you achieve that your picture comes alive.

I mainly draw from photographs that way; I feel I can bring out the true personality of my subjects. Like everything around us each creature has its own variations and that is why I have such a love for sketching in black and white.

Currently I am working on my own original pieces and in the process of designing note cards. I will also have some of my own indoor and outdoor Dream catchers. I plan on showing my art at local arts and craft shows soon.
