Terri Jones lives and works in Memphis, Tennessee. She received her BFA from Atlanta College of Art, Georgia in 1985.  In 1992, she was awarded a Southern Arts Federation/National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Award for Works on Paper. In the summer of 2004, Power House, a DeltaAxis initiative, in Memphis asked Terri to respond to their landmark building.  For that exhibition, Drawing A Line 1993-2004, Jones’ response included planting red zinnias and melting red wax in four installations created specifically for the space(s) as well as an exhibition of ten years of work. Since 1993 Jones has lived and worked in that same area, the South Main Historical District–bordered by the Lorraine Motel and the Mississippi River. Today, her work continues to address the objecthood of drawing through her multi-disciplinary approach to art-making and site-specific installations.
