Working exclusively in various grades of graphite, Terry portrays his personal experiences from frequent travels and field study sessions. Delicate line work and strong textural contrasts predominate his monochromatic works where animals and the natural world take center stage. His works are included in museum and corporate collections and have been spotlighted in many publications over the last 30 years including in nine volumes of the long-running series, Strokes of Genius: The Best of Drawing. In the fall of 2013, The Woodson Art Museum honored Terry and his graphite work by naming him their 33rd Master Wildlife Artist.
