“Emptiness (and Infinite)” (mixed media on linen, 2010), by Laura Terry

An exhibit titled “Seeds and Stars: An Investigation of Infinite Possibilities” is installed at Brick House Kitchen, 1079 S. School Ave., in Fayetteville.

The display includes 14 recent paintings by Laura Terry, an associate professor of architecture in the Fay Jones School of Architecture, where she currently teaches beginning architectural design and landscape painting.

Terry grew up in west central Georgia, where she fell in love with the red clay and rural landscape. She studied architecture as an undergraduate, but a trip to Florence, Italy, inspired her to be a painter. She received a Master of Fine Arts in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1998. Since then, she has shown her work in Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York and Los Angeles. Fresh Paint in Culver City, Calif., retains many of her mixed media drawings. Her work is held in private collections in Denver, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Tokyo.

She is inspired by the complexity of the landscape, particularly in the fall and winter, when the structure of plants and trees is revealed.
