ABOUT - ME
Terri LeSaint Keller
Photographer, creative artist
I have always had a passion for photography, but had no formal training. It is just a hobby that I love and happen to be good at. It was not until I was able to travel that I realized how much true beauty there is in this world. In times of trouble and unrest, like we see in our world today, it is nice to know there is still some peace and tranquility. Recently, I have decided to try my hand at something new. I have taken a couple workshops over these last few years from some of the most creative artists around our tri-state area; Sandy Maudlin, Charlie Berger and Kathy Conroy. They have infiltrated my artistic brain and planted some new seeds to work on the skills they taught, especially scratchboard. All good things take time and practice, and I must remember that as I step into this journey. I have no plans to put my camera into storage, I am just finding new ways to express myself. I was born, raised, and worked hard in Cincinnati Ohio and am now gracefully (semi) retired and enjoying the time and challenges that Life is still handing me. Family and friends are the adrenalin that keeps me going. I am hoping you will follow me into and throughout my new venture in original scratchboart art.
