Terry Pitts is a distinguished Canadian traditional freehand artist and illustrator with a rich and diverse artistic background. Her journey began with a deep passion for portraiture and fashion, laying the groundwork for a successful career spanning various artistic disciplines. Terry’s early fascination with drawing and fashion history paved the way for her involvement in the commercial fashion industry and fashion illustration.

Terry's educational foundation in Fashion Design was solidified when she earned the title of Junior Canadian Designer at the 1976 Miss Canada pageant. This accolade launched her into the world of costume and fashion design, both commercially and custom-made. Her expertise in pattern making and garment construction informed her detailed understanding of fashion design. She has also shared her knowledge by teaching fashion-related courses—such as Fashion Illustration, Fashion History, and Fashion Textiles—at Vancouver-based colleges.

In the realm of commercial illustration, Terry contributed to themed decor for a major Canadian grocery chain, creating imagery for bulkheads across British Columbia and Alberta. Her Ukrainian heritage and passion for Ukrainian dance and culture led her to both perform and instruct in this vibrant tradition. To share this cultural spirit, she began selling her artwork inspired by her Ukrainian culture. Notably, her "Western Wedding Korovai" print was acquired by the Ukrainian Canadian Council: Alberta Provincial Council and is now displayed in the Consulate of Ukraine office in Edmonton, Alberta.

By 2006, Terry had transitioned into costume concept illustration for Film and TV, collaborating with talented costume designers and major film studios. She is an active member of the costume design community, affiliated with IATSE 891 (Vancouver), IATSE 892 (Los Angeles), as well as CAFTCAD (Canadian Alliance of Film and Television Costume Arts and Design) and the Television Arts and Sciences. Her exceptional work earned her multiple nominations and a CAFTCAD Award for Excellence in Costume Illustration for "The Twilight Zone" Season 2 in 2020.

A traditional artist skilled in graphite, pencil crayon, and watercolor, Terry remains deeply inspired by her creative pursuits. She is committed to supporting human artistry and creativity, viewing her diverse talents as gifts to be shared. Through her work, she strives to inspire and mentor others, encouraging them to pursue their passions.
