BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Terry Burns lived in the Toronto area for two decades before moving to Owen Sound in 2003. She works in a variety of paint and drawing media, and finds inspiration for her visual art in the natural world as well as in handmade and vintage objects. She has exhibited throughout Grey and Bruce counties. Apart from painting, her career has included theatrical stage management and scenic painting (the latter currently with Owen Sound Little Theatre), arts administration, radio hosting, photography, retail, writing, and editing. Terry was the Poet Laureate of Owen Sound (2013-2015), and in this capacity edited a poetry anthology, Mix Well (Ginger Press, 2015) featuring the work of many local poets. She has published two volumes of poetry, the quality of light (Ginger Press, 2015)and Twelve Days: A Bestiary (self-published chapbook, 2017), for which she also did the illustrations. She lives just south-east of Chatsworth, ON.
