Note: Currently residing in Austin, Texas, Terri Thomas studied painting at Corcoran College of Art + Design after becoming disenchanted with a career in the fashion industry. Her work examines ideas of ?female sexuality (female assertion and autonomy), body-commodification, agency, contradictions of desire, temporality, beauty as strategy, high-brow art versus low-brow art, art historic patriarchy, parody and the staged body.? Ambiguity is at the heart of her photorealist work which encourages viewers to examine the representational and feminist norms that are embedded within Western society. Ref.: ?Biography.?
