Jean Terry: Upstate New York Farmstead
November 30, 2011 - February 26, 2011
Reception: December 3, 2011, 2-4pm
The Shaul family farm and roadside produce business is the subject of the exhibition, “Jean Terry: Upstate New York Farmstead.” Terry was encouraged by Chief Curator Mark Moseman to create a series of paintings of her youthful experiences growing up in a large family in the Schoharie Valley of New York. The exhibition opens November 30th and will run through February 26, 2012. Terry has long been a painter of other places and subjects and has always wanted to create work that more personally reflected her family memories. Terry says, “To me, this is the most important project I have worked on as an artist.” The museum is proud to present this body of work that captures an important time and place in an artist’s development and offers a substantial contribution to the prominence of Agrarian Art.
Terry has been in a number of national juried competitions. Most recently she won first prize in an international art show in New Mexico. She received Honorable Mention in the Pastel Journal in both the Landscape and the Wildlife categories. She was in the Top 100 Paint the Parks and Top 50 Mini Paint the Parks competitions. She has received awards in national shows at Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, St Joseph, Missouri in 2009 and the Heartland Artist Exhibition, Merriam, Kansas in 2007.
