Q & A with Terry Angelos

Most of you Durbanites will be familiar with the creative artwork pieces by local artist Terry Angelos. I've had the privilege of working with this talented lady on various projects. Her fun and playful pieces of art inspire me and i love how innovative Terry is with her creations.  
Here is some more insight into this very talented and clever artist:

'Terry Angelos was born in Zimbabwe and only immigrated to Durban in 1982. She matriculated 1986 from Durban Girls College and received the Atkinson Prize for being the top art student in her year. She completed one year of Fine Art and one Year of Drama, but is mostly self taught, preferring the mediums of pen and ink drawings, acrylics, mixed media, collage, assembled art and 3D paper sculpture. There is a strong influence of craft in her work. For 10 years she used to own and run a children's event business, until at the age of 40, she started a full time career of being an Artist. '
