Terrie K, originally from Birmingham, Alabama, began drawing and painting as a very little girl. By the time she was in the first grade at Hueytown Elementary School, she was already winning art awards in the Alabama State fair.

Terrie excelled at anything and everything creative; art, crafts, music, dance...as well as in academics. She became very involved with the 4-H Club, winning major recognitions in Public Speaking and Demonstration. With the help of her parents, Terrie K's 4-H booth at the fair always made a great impression, and most often, took home the prizes. (In fact, this is probably where Terrie got her first experience with murals. She was always in charge of designing and painting the back drops for the exhibits.)






Terrie K moved to Jackson, Tennessee with her family in 1984 and graduated with honors from Northside High School in 1986. During her senior year, she was already attending college at Jackson State Community College as a rising Senior. (Terrie received an airbrush as a graduation present from her parents, but soon found that she preferred to paint with traditional brushes.)

As she continued at Jackson State, she majored in Communications and Advertising. The advertising field seemed to offer Terrie a chance to work in all the subjects she loved, art, graphics, and illustration, music, journalism and public speaking.


In 1991, Terrie K became the female lead singer for the band formerly known as "Real Too Real". (Most people now know them by their new name that they signed with Sony under; "Fuel") Terrie K began touring as a singer for the next several years. She traveled the Eastern U.S., the Caribbean Islands, Mexico and Canada. While she wasn't on stage singing, she had the wonderful experience of meeting and studying with artists from all these areas.

When Terrie K returned home, she opened her own company, Terrie K Entertainment Productions. Terrie K sees her company as a vehicle for her to work in all the fields she loves. Since opening this company, she has released her own CD for which she designed all the artwork and graphics, she published an area wide entertainment magazine for which she designed all the graphics, ads and layouts, she has designed web pages and web graphics, sold decorative art work, fine art work and murals.

Over the years, Terrie K has worked in almost every art form around; murals, trompe l'oeil, oils, acrylics, and watercolor painting, pastels, airbrushing, decorative painting, mosaics, woodworking, sewing, crocheting, knitting, screen printing, paper making, computer graphics,...the list goes on and on. Terrie thrives on creating and her only intention is to continue.

Terrie K currently makes One of a Kind Fantasy Art Dolls, Jewelry and Beads that she sells online, at shows and in boutiques. She also paints murals and fine art on commission. Her work has been featured in Doll Crafters and Costuming, Dreams Alive, and Polymer Cafe Magazines and on the cover of Dolls United Magazine. She is award winning juried plus artist on EBSQArt.com



"I absolutely love to create things...beautiful things...when I finish painting a mural, or a portrait or a sculpture, and I step back and take a look at it...see how other people look at it and enjoy it and admire it, I know I've done something important...lasting...lasting and beautiful...that counts."
