As an artist,
Terri's paintings, prints and collages have been exhibited at the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the West Virginia Museum of Art, the
University of Tucson Museum of Art, The Words and Picture Museum,
Book Arts Gallery and other venues in the United States and England.
Her imagery is directly inspired by world mythology, and the role
of women in folk and fairy tales.
As a writer,
Terri is best known as the author of The Wood Wife, an award-winning
adult novel inspired by the intermingled myths of the American Southwest.
She is also the author of The Raven Queen and The Changeling (both
for children), short stories and poetry published in various anthologies,
and a regular column on folklore for Realms of Fantasy magazine.
Her most recent book is A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale, with artist
Wendy Froud.
As an editor,
Terri started one of the first American publishing programs for
modern Fantasy fiction (at Ace Books/Grosset & Dunlap) in the early
1980s, where many of today's top writers in the field got their
start. She has published over 25 anthologies - including the Snow
White, Blood Red series of adult fairy tales, The Year's Best Fantasy
& Horror annual volumes, and The Armless Maiden: a collection of
stories exploring the subject of child abuse, using myth as a tool
for healing. She edited the folklore text for Brian Froud's art
book Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, and is a consulting fiction editor
for Tor Books in New York.
Terri divides
her time between a 400-year-old cottage in Devon, England, and a
desert house in Tucson, Arizona. Regarding her spiritual beliefs,
she says, "I am a folklorist, an animist, and a member of Native
American Church. (And I have quite a lot of neighbors, in both countries,
who routinely talk to the faeries.)"
