My Creativity Blog

My Creativity Blog is dedicated to covering the subjects of creativity, art, the artistic process and art education. I started out adding posts to this site two to three times a month, but as interest has grown, I have been posting articles 2 to 3 times a week.  I hope to share inspiration and encouragement to anyone that has an interest in becoming more creative. I also plan to share experiences that really excite and motivate the artist in me.

Who is Terry Holliday?

The content of My Creativity Blog is produced by Terry Holliday, artist and art teacher.  Terry has been exhibiting her watercolors and winning awards since 1985.  Her works have sold to numerous private and public collectors.

Terry has spent 12 years teaching art at the secondary level and currently is an art teacher at Navasota High School. She resides in Plantersville, Texas.  Other creative ventures she is involved with are producing art videos for children, writing for Art For Homeschool, and  sponsoring an online art show for homeschool students.

Terry finds herself constantly inspired by the beauty of her surroundings. Terry’s work can be seen and purchased at her website, Watercolors By Terry.  Terry’s other interests are gardening, reading, web design, jewelry making, genealogy, yoga, reiki and whatever else happens to catch her attention.
