Visual Art – Boston

As a young teenage girl I had the opportunity to work for a non-profit organization called Artist for Humanity in Boston, MA. That is the place awoke my potential and my passion as an artist. I attended my first RAW event through the invite of an old friend and fellow artist; I felt inspiration and hope again. After catching up and telling her about having put my passion on the side burner, she sent me the quote 'an artist who stops making art is committing emotional suicide. Get off the couch and start painting again.' That was it. I became a part of my first RAW showcase about 5 years ago. It was one of the best experiences I've had as an artist. As the years have passed I've longed for that reconnection with myself as an artist again. Now as a 26 year old full time mom, I'm aiming to rekindle my passion for art by no longer allowing it to be only my past time but also my future. I feel as though I not only owe it to my parents for their sacrifices but most importantly I have the dying desire to set a proper example for my son; no matter the set back you can always get back on track to pursuing your dreams. My artwork allows me to express everything I don't have the words to say. My name is Tercia and I am just trying to get back together with my first true love, art.
