Biography
Teri has been photographing fragments of American culture as a way of connecting with the world around her for the past twenty-five years. After studying photojournalism at the University of Texas and serving as an intern at the Magnum photo agency in New York, Teri developed her printmaking skills in darkrooms improvised in kitchens and motel rooms across the country.
In 2012, after years of being primarily a “daylight” photographer, Teri started experimenting with night photography. Using moonlight or available streetlight she began new series of social landscapes that reveal a lonely, yet enduring portrait of a nearly forgotten America.
Teri currently lives in Marble, Colorado. When not lost in the backcountry, or in her darkroom producing palladium prints, she can be found in her beloved ‘88 Ford Van on the track of the perfect roadside bar. Her work has been exhibited internationally and published in The London Sunday Times, The Sun and on the NPR website. In 2010 she was a Terry O’Neill finalist, and recipient of a Puffin Foundation grant in 2012.
