STATEMENT

Exiled to the wilderness of nonconformity, I have found comfort some place between Zen and the professionally weird. A paper-headed pajama-clad raconteur translating observations and reactions with graphic pun and insinuation, my work continues to venture into the absurdities of socio-political, philosophical and psychoanalytical themes.

BIO

Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant who has called Los Angeles home since 1980.

 Under the influence of a 1960s latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience.

Introduced to the Apple computer in the 1980s, a love affair with digital technology was born.

From design and illustration, to cut and paste memes, Terri’s work has been described as “renegade, disruptive, transgressive and under it’s colorful demeanor, subversive…it has a kind of ‘pop’ feel on the surface, but deals with issues pop never went.”

Terri has exhibited her art in many group and juried exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe.

Her work has been featured in a variety of both online and print publications and catalogs, including The Black Scat Review, The Little Red Book of Commie Porn, Baku Magazine, KCET Departures, and The Huffington Post.

Terri can be found somewhere in Los Angeles living with a very patient husband, a small and unruly herd of cats and one very naughty macaw. When not working in the studio, Terri runs The Haggus Society, a feminist art collective for women over the age of 40.
