Terri Cabral - 2010
Artist's Statement:
"As an artist and as a person I believe that life, the world and her inhabitants are basically good. In my paintings, whether they are of people, plants or animals, I strive to reveal this simple, yet universal, truth.
I am self taught. At the age of ten I picked up a pencil and began to draw portraits. My uncle Antonio Gattorno, who was one Cuba’s Modern Masters, often gave me art supplies – pens, ink, charcoal, paints, canvases and even his own drawing table. But I never took lessons from him. My family did not want to impose on him. I would often study his paintings that hung in his home and the homes of my relatives. I continue to be greatly influenced by his work. He was known for his versatility and his ability to paint masterfully in a variety of styles. I am constantly experimenting with styles and developing my sense of versatility."

...Terri Cabral - 2005
She is an American artist of Portuguese descent who currently resides in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA but grew up on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. She began drawing and painting at the age of ten. She won several first place awards in elementary and high school art exhibits that featured her portraits of family and friends.
After working for five years with her life partner, Sean, on the biography and life works of her uncle, Cuban Master Painter, Antonio Gattorno, she found a renewed zest for painting. Her paintings have sold through the Internet, a gallery in Miami, FL, and in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Ms. Cabral participated in an International Artists Workshop in Chania, Crete in October 2002, where several artists from the US, India, the Netherlands and Greece came together to paint, enjoy each other’s company and share their works. It culminated in an exhibition of all the works.
“...Terri Cabral, also from the USA and of Portuguese ancestry, is primarily a romantic painter, who depicts primarily landscapes from memory and imagination.”... “Haniotika Nea”, 5 November, 2002, Greek Newspaper covering Crete exhibition 2002, translated from the Greek.
Three of her pantings were exhibited in Ferrara, Italy in an exhibit titled "The Four Elements" - International Visual & Contemporary Art Exhibition October 25 - November 2, 2003. She has currently been invited back exhibit for the 2011 Florence Biennale.
In 2004, Ms. Cabral and her life partner, Sean M. Poole, published a fine art book on her uncle, Cuban artist, Antonio Gattorno, titled "Gattorno - A Cuban Painter For The World". It has since won the Eric Hoffer Award in 2009 for Excellence in Independent Publishing, First Place in the Art Division at the London Book Festival & the New England Book Festival.
