Teri Hallman
Terri Hallman was born in 1962 and raised in a small town in Wisconsin. She attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. While working in the design field, she won two international awards for Packaging Design. Hallman's dry pigment work is the result of an unusual , well honed creative process that has evolved naturally over the years. Each piece demands the artist's unconditional focus throughout a laborious process of color layering, masking and scraping. The creative pace is intense; the result is super-saturated hues and curiously crude textures. On the surface, the work may appear simple, yet there is considerable emotional depth inherent in the artist's multi-layered approach.
