Terry Sauvé has been painting in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1996 when she settled here to attend the Academy of Art College.  She has studied with some of the area’s best painters including Brian Blood, Craig Nelson, William Maughn and Randall Sexton.  Her primary focus is on landscape painting.  Feeling a deep connection with nature, she is inspired by the natural light falling over a scene.   Capturing this magical quality of light is one focus of her paintings, as is “pushing” the color found in nature to enhance the painting.  Her method includes taking photographs, making sketches and/or color studies on location. From these references she works on larger finished paintings in her studio. Here, she transmits what she has absorbed from studying color and light in nature into her paintings. Her most recent work reflects her love of the beautiful scenery of Northern California and the Northwest.

    Terry’s work was recently selected for inclusion in the “Paint the Parks2007 Mini Top 50”, a national honor, as well as Artspan’s 2007 Selections Exhibit. Her prize-winning paintings were included in the Academy of Art’s Annual Spring Show for four consecutive years and published in the “New Fillmore” monthly newspaper (Oct. 2002). Terry resides in San Francisco with her husband, Paul Scheffert and her son, David.
