Upon completion of his studies at Farnham Art School, Terry went to work as a graphic artist in London as a designer and illustrator for the Yellow Pages. During his time off, Terry followed his original calling which was landscape painting. By 1984 the demand on his own landscapes was such that he gave up his daily working job and went to paint full time following his true passion. Within a short time, Terry began to sell prints of his work. As Terry's work grew in popularity in prints (including cardboard jigsaw puzzles) his work spread abroad and is reflected in its ever increasing demand. His work can be found in collections around the world in Europe, Japan and North America. He has several jigsaw puzzles in the Gibsons catalog ranging from 500 piece jigsaw puzzles to 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles as well as the 2 x 1000 piece boxed puzzle set.
