Terri Thoman
Terri Thoman expertly bridges the ancient traditions of printmaking with contemporary expression, drawing on four decades of experience with the fundamental techniques that have defined this medium for centuries. Trained in the 1970s, she skillfully employs Relief, Intaglio, and Planographic processes—each deeply rooted in the history of printmaking. Her work spans from intimate 2-inch square engravings to monumental 5-foot woodcuts.
Each piece carries "the evidence of life," showcasing the direct marks of tools and the human hand, elements that no digital process can replicate. Thoman’s environmental consciousness is evident in both her art and her practice. Her prints celebrate the atmosphere, earth, and water through non-toxic, sustainable methods.
As both an artist and educator, Thoman has exhibited regionally, nationally, and internationally while nurturing new generations of printmakers. Her work stands as powerful evidence that the oldest methods of creating art remain among the most expressive, connecting contemporary audiences to centuries of artistic tradition through the invaluable quality of handmade creation.
