For Sausalito-based Terri Froelich, her painting and her lifelong love for photography are deeply intertwined. With the knowledge and passion gained from a degree in photography from the Art Institute in Florida, Froelich’s contemporary abstract paintings draw heavily on photography, particularly in terms of balance and composition.

“My work is molded by an awareness of my surroundings.  I enjoy discovering and then replicating rustic details,” she says. My challenge is to reconcile diverse and sometimes conflicting experiences into a balanced piece of art that exposes strong personal meaning.”

Working out of her studio at the Industrial Center Building (ICB) in Sausalito, Froelich has exhibited her paintings in galleries, juried art exhibitions and as part of several museum and private collections. Now she’s set to showcase “Moving Forward,” her mixed media work on wood panels, at the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center (85 Throckmorton Ave.), throughout October, with a wine reception set for the Mill Valley Arts Commission’s First Tuesday Artwalk on October 3, 5:30-7:30pm.

Froelich finds inspiration for her work in details discovered during exploration and travel – nature, beach, water, architecture, rust and topography, among others. “The balance and composition I see through the camera lens easily translates to my paintings,” she says.
