About Terry Penny Dunn

Terry Penny Dunn Hello and Welcome, The words I have assembled have been years in the making. I have been posting work on Fine Art America for nearly two full years. Only now has it felt appropriate or even possible for me to endeavor this task of sharing how I have come to be here. I have always been a creative sort. Even as a child my desire to make and create was always central to my understanding of myself. For decades I have used writing as a way to grow and know myself. Writing had become a central method around which I navigated and learned the deeper recesses of my own soul. Writing gave me a greater ability to communicate with others but more importantly, it connected me to me. For 57 years, my journaling and creative writing helped me to know who I was, it grounded me. In May of 2017 That changed in and instant when I was riding in the car with my eldest and youngest daughters on our way to formal wear, when we were rear-ended by a young girl while we were sitting still. We expect that she may have been going approx. 45mph at impact. Not a single drop of blood was shed. Our lives were immediately and irrevocably altered forever. Each of the three of us suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and ultimately years of subsequent treatment and affect. Without over sharing or making this bio more a memoir, suffice to say, life was altered in every way imaginable. Most significant to this bio, I was unable to communicate in writing form. The impact of this was devastating for me, as writing was my preferred form of communication and through which I knew myself and how I worked out my thoughts and feelings. I had been a doodler for years to alleviate stress, I was not able to imagine or plan at the time, but my interest in art and self expression would have the greatest impact on my own personal growth and healing moving forward . The world has been a chaotic place these past few years. My own personal journey has been given to even occur given all of the isolation and confusion. I remember that I felt especially grateful for a couple of local Facebook groups that thankfully stayed mostly apolitical and each offered more human connection and community. I have only recently, this past February, been able to sort of witness my own progress. My concussion and other injuries have been so much to overcome. I had, so very much, felt very disconnected from the person I had spent my lifetime getting to know and understand. It has been in these past 5 years that I had to re-learn who it is that I am. What had been a relaxing hobby of doodling morphed into my feeling like I was a channel for the images that I have painted. I had never picked up a paintbrush until I could no longer pick up a pen. I have learned to express via this art creation which has consumed me as a way of communication. I am sharing this bio of sorts with my fellow facebook group members, as a thank you! My engagement with them has been invaluable in my personal journey to rediscover the me that survived a Traumatic Brain Injury and to help define the life that has grown to replace what was lost. I am exceedingly grateful and I want to express that to every facebook friend who exchanged with me when the world worked so hard to isolate us from each other. I intend to show my work on my porch and hopefully share my gratitude and possibly sell some work too. Thank you so much for reading if you made it this far. I will expand on the writing here, but only as my skills for doing so improve. Until then, please enjoy my work here. It has brought me enormous Joy and Peace for having been able to produce it, Thank you for your interest. Peace, Love and Light to all! Terry Penny Dunn
