Terry Sauvé
LUMINOUS LANDSCAPES TERRY SAUVÉ had an awakening when her mother marveled at how she could do anything other than be an artist. She was dumbstruck - she hadn’t thought about doing what she loved more than anything as a career. She packed up and moved across the country to study art at the Academy of Fine Art University in San Francisco. Here she was blessed to learn both Plein-air painting as well as traditional studio painting from the area’s top painters. In 2000, she participated in her first art festival and the doors to the art world flew open. She was picked up by a prominent Sausalito gallery and has since exhibited in galleries and festivals across the country. In a world in transition, Terry’s luminous landscapes connect the viewer with something both ephemeral and transcendent. Feeling a deep connection with nature, she is inspired by the natural light falling over a scene. Capturing this magical quality of light as well as “pushing” the color are two primary focuses of her work. She is clear that her purpose is to bring more beauty and light into the world and aims to create an emotional impact, as well as a sense of balance and harmony in the viewer. She also loves working with clients to create stunning custom pieces to enhance their spaces and their lives.
