"Contentment" is not lost, it is always within our reach. When I was in Hawaii for a show, I was fortunate to meet the couple who, a year or so ago before, bought the original painting. That to me... is always a great pleasure.

Flipping phenomenal work. I'm astoundedjulie Marks 15 May 2007
Terry, your work is not only stunning with your brilliant use of color; in addition to technical achievements like your use of lighting, texture and enhanting magical nuance, your conceptual art portraying Buddah, a powerful archetype of peace with one of nature's most peaceful fish, the exquisite Koi present a harmonious and symbolic image of serenity in natural form and intrapsychically as "inner peace." I have lived with Koi and taken photos when I first start taking photos, almost 2 years ago. Their beauty was what compelled me to take my first photograph and your works validates why I choose this as my first subject. Exceptional work reflecting your keen intelligence and insight and ability to portray beauty in with wonderdul aesthetic sensibility.cathy sharpe 05 May 2007
