Terri Leonard was born in St. John’s Newfoundland. She specializes in watercolours and her subject matter includes landscapes, seascapes, street scenes, outport communities, and tropical scapes as she now lives in Florida during the winter. While there she studies at the Beach Art Center, and has completed numerous workshops with a wide array of talented artists. A recent workshop with Robert Burrage that focused on acrylic painting opened up a new area for Terri, one that she is enjoying immensely and taking on with ease. She began drawing and painting in 1988 and found it to be a relaxing retreat from her intense work as a guidance counselor. Since her retirement in 1995 Terri devotes full time to painting on sight. She has exhibited in several group shows in St. John’s and Florida, and has sold extensively throughout Canada and the United States to businesses, governments and individuals.
