Terry Sitz is a native Washingtonian and 3rd generation artist.
 
Her work is an excavation of self that is enhanced by a dedicated yoga practice and a commitment to sharing in a vulnerable and authentic way.  While having studied with a number of artists, she credits her DNA for her strong sense of composition and eye for looking at things differently.
 
Terry’s paintings are layered with mixed media--vintage and recycled objects-- strong colors and abstracted forms.  She approaches her art with shades of rebellion and takes inspiration from artists who pushed the envelope including Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani and Basquiat.   She regularly blogs about her art process and her vision of the world.
 
For more than two decades, Terry split her time between running her assisted living company and her lifelong passion for art.  Following the sale of the company in early 2016, she has fully dedicated herself to her creative work. Her works are in private and corporate collections throughout the US.
