Terri Maxfield Lipp is an artist who works in a variety of media, though her focus is mainly on painting and photography. Resistant to being defined by any one particular style, her body of work is a visual diary that reflects her personal exploration of creativity, as a concept and way of life.
Her main inspiration draws from the art movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily Dadaism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau and Surrealism. Recent artistic movements such as Fluxus, Neo-Expressionism, Pop-Surrealism, and Visionary also influence her thinking and creative process.
During the pandemic lockdown of 2020, she began a series of drawings that would in 2021 become her first coloring book, “Breathing Space: a coloring book of mindful moments.” The illustrations are influenced by the late 19th and early 20th century art movement known as Art Nouveau. With flowing lines, patterned backgrounds, and nodding to nature, these illustrations blend the nostalgia and fantasy of Art Nouveau with a modern feel. Each page serves as a meditation on a positive attribute aiming to bolster self-esteem and lower daily stress. The book is available on Amazon worldwide.
Terri Maxfield Lipp’s home and studio are currently located in Rome, Italy.
Her work is sold and exhibited internationally.
