Meet the Artist
Terri Goodwin
2-D Mixed MeDIA
Terri Goodwin is a Seattle artist best known for combining her handcrafted ceramic tile with concrete resulting in unique mixed media artworks suitable for hanging in multiple environments. Terri hand-forms ceramic tile using a variety of sculpting techniques. She often casts plaster molds of her designs to allow more time and attention to detail while some of her offerings are “one off” carvings. Each tile is hand glazed in a variety of colors. The completed tiles are embedded into concrete using silicone molds.
After earning a BA in Design from UCLA, Terri spent her early career as a graphic designer for small companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle while continuing to explore hands-on creative work. Terri’s experiences in mosaic led to a desire to create her own ceramic tiles and cast them directly into concrete, setting them apart and calling attention to their unique shapes and bright glazes. In 2010, she founded Bright River Studio as a place to combine her passion for tile and concrete with the inspiration of the Pacific Northwest.
