I find meditative solutions in the process of making art. Process offers a level of resolution, regardless of logic, that can lead to new work or revisiting old work that may hold personal and spiritual meaning for the present. Terry Acebo Davis balances her artistic career with her work as a pediatric transport nurse at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. Her art draws content from her cultural heritage as a native Californian of Filipina American extraction. Terry's work has been exhibited in California, Hawaii, New York, Canada, the Philippines, Germany, and Belgium.

As an American realist I follow the tradition of genre painting which finds its roots in the works of such artists as Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, and Edouard Manet. But the psychological purpose of my works, frequently depicting solitary, introspective figures, adds another dimension to the definition. One is made to feel in close proximity to the subject situated on or near the picture plane. But the figure is independent of the observer, isolated in contemplative thought. And this isolation is heightened by the visual simplicity of my painting's construction.
