*WEBSITE: Terrysand.com* In this studio visit, Terry takes us on a journey through her creative process, which she describes as "breaking all the rules." With a background in improv comedy and modern dance (UCLA), Terry translates the energy of performance directly onto her canvas. She shares how her choreography has shifted from her body to her brush, proving that movement and rhythm live on in her art. *Meet her whimsical muse,* "Madam Shinsplintski"—a comedic circus performer who inspires much of her work—and watch as Terry demonstrates her unique "improv painting" technique. For Terry, art is about the power of play, non-judgment, and finding joy in the unplanned. *📍 Featured in this Video:* [00:00] Intro: "Simon" & The Rules of Art [00:20] From Improv & Dance to Painting [01:50] The Power of Play & "Cat Concerto" [02:20] Meet the Muse: Madame Shinsplintski[03:13] Demo: The Process of Improv Painting [05:24] "Girls Night Out" & Celebrating Life *🎨 About the Artist:* Terry Sand brings a spirit of mischief, joy, and spontaneity to her work, often letting the paint dictate the direction of the piece, much like an improv game. 🌸*Welcome to People Around Us:*🌸 People Around Us with Leila Ghasempor—Social-Poet Artist and Creative Advocate—is a space for discovering artists and amplifying voices in the Bay Area.
