About the Artist

Terri Kelly Moyers has never wanted to do anything in life but paint.  Even as a child growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, she was constantly drawing with her main subject matter being horses. She briefly studied at the Alberta College of Art and also the Mount Royal Community College, but the stylistic emphasis in these two institutions was not of the realist, nature-based school that interested Terri.  She continued working independently until she attended a month-long painting workshop taught by the artist, Robert Lougheed, at the Okanagan Game Farm in British Columbia.  It was there that she began in earnest painting animals from life as well as rubbing shoulders with and getting advice from artists from all over America.  One of those artists receiving instruction from Lougheed was her future husband, John Moyers, of New Mexico.
Another artist who was a valuable influence was the Canadian painter and environmentalist, Clarence Tillenius, who had been a friend and colleague of the painter, Carl Rungius.
Whether painting a portrait, a landscape or a cowgirl riding a horse, Moyers' subjects are things that are beautiful and that move her. “I want to share what I see with other people and help them have the same pleasure I have.  Each artist interprets and edits things in a different way, infusing his or her work with a different quality or emotion.”

Terri Moyers exhibits annually at the Prix de West Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK, and Western Horizons in Scottsdale, AZ.  She lives in California with her artist husband, John Moyers. Moyers paints in her studio and en plein air while traveling abroad which is another passion of hers. Moyers especially loves to paint in the Canadian Rockies which she does annually - or as often as possible. 

Throughout the years, Terri Kelly Moyers' work has been featured in numerous articles in the top western art magazines in the country. Many pieces of her work is in museums as well as important private collections.
