About Terry

Learn The Art From The Core And Pursue Your Passion

Art’scool by Terry Taylor offers comprehensive art education for children, teenagers and adults. She specialises in teaching drawing, painting and clay modelling to ages as early as 5 yrs old. Her individual and at times weird, term and holiday programs encourage creativity, a sense of fun and learning in her Studio 43: a clean, well-lit, space with plants, books, music and numerous collections clearly displayed, to help relax budding artists so that they can explore various techniques and develop their own visual eye.

She created Artscool in 1995 to allow children to learn and explore art by imparting her own first hand knowledge as a fine artist and over that time has taught thousands of talented students. From Australia to Germany to France to Vienna Terry’s paintings have been showcased and now with 30 solo exhibitions since 1985 and 90 group exhibitions she is a well respected international artist.
