Painter Terri Kelly Moyers has lived and worked with a backdrop of rolling ranch land and the distant Sangre de Cristo mountains with husband John Moyers – himself a noted painter – for more than a decade. It is easy to see how this tranquil setting located a less than an hour from Santa Fe, NM, has inspired both painters.
Growing up in Canada, Moyers was influenced by both the beautiful landscape and the works of one of North America’s renowned landscape and wildlife painters, Carl Rungius, who lived in Banff, Alberta, for many years. Although Moyers was initially drawn to animal subjects, over the years she has grown to love the figure. "I particularly enjoy combining the two", she says.
Among the awards Moyers has received for her paintings are the Nona Jean Hulsey Buyers’ Choice Award and the Frederic Remington Award (shared with Mehl Lawson) at the 1996 Prix de West show at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, OK. In 1997, she made her debut as an invited artist in the Denver Rotary Clubs Artist of America Show, CO.
