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
