Terrance lives in the Blue Mountains in NSW, and has been working as an artist/sculptor for 30 years. He draws his inspiration from the beauty of the natural world and works on themes that reflect the interconnectedness of all living things.

Terrance has also been invited to exhibit his sculptural works at the prestigious New York Gallery, Artifact, in 2015. He has also been asked to exhibit at the 2015 Florence Biennale, and is working on a large contemporary work alluding to the infinite beauty of “Light” for this exhibition.
