Terry J Lev, artist, mom, wife, retired CalPERS employee, sister, friend, gardener, photographer and wanna be musician! Sacramento native, currently lives in Seaside Oregon with bass playin" husband, Joe Lev. Blessed with two very wonderful grown children!
Creativity has always been there. At a very young age learned to sew and made clothing, dolls and lots of costumes. Loved Photography for years, capturing that moment in time. Contributing writer for newsletters, designed CD covers, fliers, cards and brochures.
I learned to play the Piano as a child, Flute as a tween, Guitar and Keyboard as a teenager, as an adult, Ukulele and now the Zydeco Rubboard and other percussion instraments!
I began painting just before I turned 50, when I became overwhelmed with an urge to paint, couldn't help myself... I was obsessed and just had to paint! Typically using acrylics; my art is whimsical, very colorful, bold and fun. I am heavily folk art inspired. I love the magic of the natural world, the ocean, the moon, and the clash of a city landscape. Painting musicians comes from my love of watching my hubby Joe making beautiful music. I can be inspired by something small, an object, a shadow, a reflection, spiced up with a lively imagination and wacky sense of humor. I hope you enjoy. Be well, be creative! Tj. .
