September 2024  Critical Mass Top 50!

My work was selected by the highly esteemed international panel of +150 jurors as part of the Critical Mass 2024 Top 50!

I don't know what else to say, but "Yay"! 

Over the next weeks and months I will have more details to share of some opportunities coming my way due to the exposure that this process creates... like a feature show in California next summer, for one example. So check back here, or watch social media @terriwarpinski

August 2024    Carol Crow Fellowship Award

I just learned that I am the recipient of The Carol Crow Fellowship Award from the Houston Center for Photography . This fellowship seeks to award a photographer who are engaged in advocating for the environment and celebrating our natural landscapes. The selected artist exemplifies excellence and innovation in their approach to image making. The Carol Crow Fellowship Award aims to highlight and offer an artist a platform and support to continue developing their practice and is open to photogrpahers from anywhere on the globe. 


It will result in a solo exhibition at The Houston Center for Photography. The juror for this year was writet, curator, editor and educator,  Liz Wells, whose research in photographic culture focuses on land, landscape, place, and environment, as well as on photographic theory and practices.

August 2024   Critical Mass Top 200

After many years of not submitting for any of the larger competitions in the field I decided to put myself - and my work - out there in the world to see what might happen. So far I am enjoying a number of positive outcomes - which offset the massive disappointments that are also part of the experience.


It was with great joy that I found my work selected for the Top 200 in the Critical Mass. Every submission is juried by their  Pre-Screening Panel, a group of key industry professionals, as well as Photolucida’s Program Director and Board Members. The top 200 portfolios are then reveiwed by Critical Mass jurors  - an international group of industry professionals representing a wide variety of photographic interests in the field (gallery owners, agency art buyers, curators, publishers, editors, media producers, etc.).

Storied Lives is an exploration of personal freedom seen through the lens of stark contrast.
