Originally growing up in Oklahoma in a religious household Terrell discovered his passion for art. This lead to him becoming a selling artist at a young age and immediately getting a studio space of his own in Austin, Texas where he was surrounded by inspiring artists. He describes this studio as a small room where he ate, slept, and made art.

As his popularity in the art world began to grow he moved out to Los Angeles, California where he owned a gallery of his own. After a fire occurred in the space he migrated down to Laguna Beach where he resides and has his own small space where he continues to create the pieces you see today. Although he appreciated his time achieving bigger goals he found himself wanting to be back in that small room.
