work for Nucor Steel then Houston Light & Power Plant. 17 years ago Terry & his wife Carla opened up an antique
shop which is now his gallery.
Having all these neat items just lying around his antique shop got Terry thinking about something to do with them out
of boredom. He started off making metal trucks and tractors from there Terry started making fish & animals. His art
ranges from abstract & whimsical to monumental.

works with two police departments & one sheriff’s office destroying confiscated weapons for them, turning something
bad into something good Art!
