Artist Comments
Part of the artist Terri Bell's Geometria Grid series. This piece incorporates geometric shapes and text into a textural arrangement. The painting's bold color palette and grid merge the composition into a coordinated framework. "After creating the initial grid, I intuitively build on each segment until a unified composition results," explains Terri. "The composition is both ordered and random."

About the Artist
Artist Terri Bell constructs highly detailed geometric fields that dance to life with engaging colors and soft edges. As a young child, Terri always wanted to paint, draw, or play imaginative games. She entered college as an art major and received important mentorship from several teachers. Unfortunately, it was at this point that Terri’s art career was put on hold. "I had to make a couple of detours along the way, and ended up changing my major to political science," she says, "which led me to work in a high stress, high profile state government position." Terri’s creative pursuits were more limited but ever-present. "Art was the balance in my life and I never gave up my dream." Through hard work and determination, she has returned to her calling as a full-time career artist. When she’s not painting, Terri enjoys cooking, container gardening, and spending time with her husband and two Yorkies.
