Painting is my reprieve, my way to transcend the noise outside and in.<\/p>\nPainting is my reprieve, my way to transcend the noise outside and in.<\/p>\n
I paint from photographs and make ample use of Photoshop to explore composition. In my current work, I strive for an impressionistic style while honoring a true experience of our glorious world. I hope to stir an emotional response, but not so much to the painting as to the essence of the subject.<\/p>\n
Artist’s Background<\/strong><\/p>\n I began painting in earnest only in my fifties. And then, only in my spare time. Retirement offered the opportunity to re-imagine my future as a fine artist.<\/p>\n I love hiking the high country, and spend almost as much time on the trail as at the easel. I live in Niwot, Colorado with my husband Neal Pierman, who does fine art photography (NealPierman.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Painting is my reprieve, my way to transcend the noise […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1797","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1797"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2465,"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1797\/revisions\/2465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/terihoyer.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/terihoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/20507344_10210532070964167_7681027216063290472_o-147x300.jpg\")
In childhood, my hands were always busy drawing. I won contests, and I imagined an adult future as an artist. When teenage insecurity took hold, I became convinced I wasn\u2019t good enough. And I just stopped. Then in my twenties I landed in advertising art almost by accident. When the internet began to show real promise, I morphed my visual skills into web design. Fine art had no place among the necessities of single parenting.<\/p>\n
