Terence Crawford is a
Newfoundland Artist who resides in Foxtrap, Conception Bay South, with
his wife Carla and son Ryan. He is a member of the Visual Artists
Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (VANL) and CARFACT. Terence
received his formal training in Toronto, Ontario (1962-67) where he
studied Fine Arts and Graphic Design, graduating with an honors
degree. Terence worked as a Graphic Designer/Creative Director for
both advertising agencies and major corporations over a 25 year
period. He received numerous awards of merit in Graphic Design both
nationally and internationally. His work has been published in art
books and trade magazines.
Terence has always had a
true love for the outdoors. In his spare time, he enjoys flyfishing,
camping, outdoor photography and golf. Tired of his career as a
commercial artist, in 1992 Terence decided to pursue his love of
painting on a full time basis. Although adept in acrylics and oils, he
decided that watercolours would be his medium of choice. Because of
its transparent qualities and texture of the paper, he felt that
watercolour lent itself well to a variety of techniques that could be
utilized while painting different subject matter.
His watercolour paintings have sold throughout North America and parts
of Europe. Provincially, his work has been shown in various galleries,
including the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador. Terence has
completed a number of commissioned works which have been purchased by
private collectors, including the Provincial Government of
Newfoundland and Labrador. His paintings have been reproduced for a
variety of trade magazines, calendars and greeting cards. Over
the past twelve years, he has given watercolour lessons to a number of
artists in the province.
