Terry Tsu

I paint how I feel. Sometimes my paintings are frenzied, full of raw emotion, putting down in paint what I can’t yet articulate in words. Other times, I slow myself down and use painting as a sort of meditation or cerebral exercise. My artwork changes as I go through moods or as I experiment with materials; working large vs. working small, painting on canvas vs. painting on wood, using oil vs. acrylic.

Most of the time, I don’t plan the piece. I like to start out in ‘play’ mode, not thinking too much and welcoming the unexpected. At some point in the process, though, I switch to problem solving mode. It’s a constant back-and-forth between the two. In the end, I hope my work has both energy and balance and I’ve learned something about what makes me tick.
