29 Oct Capturing nature’s spirit

Early influences often direct an artist’s focus. For Mora artist Terri Huro, her childhood in rural Minnesota set the direction for her mixed media work. 

As an only child, Huro spent much of her time exploring her surroundings.”I have had a strong connection to nature and animals from a very early age,” she said. “I still enjoy exploring nature and trying to capture the spirit of natural things.”

Working in mixed media—mainly graphite, acrylic, watercolor and gouache—Huro likes to throw in some “modern style twists” to create interesting juxtapositions with her realistic graphite drawings.
