Otro artista que fue una influencia valiosa fue el pintor y ambientalista canadiense Clarence Tillenius, que había sido amigo y colega del pintor Carl Rungius.
Ya sea pintando un retrato, un paisaje o una vaquera montando a caballo, los temas de Moyer son cosas hermosas y que la conmueven. “Quiero compartir lo que veo con otras personas y ayudarles a tener el mismo placer que yo. Cada artista interpreta y edita las cosas de una manera diferente, infundiendo a su trabajo una calidad o emoción diferente”.
El tema favorito de Moyer es la vaquera americana. "Disfruto pintando mujeres", dice. "Siento que las mujeres tenían un papel importante que desempeñar en Occidente, y tal vez eso no ha sido tan reconocido como debería".

Terri Kelly Moyers has never wanted to do anything in life but paint. Even as a child growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, she was constantly drawing with her main subject matter being horses. She briefly studied at the Alberta College of Art and also the Mount Royal Community College, but the stylistic emphasis in these two institutions was not of the realist, nature-based school that interested Terri. She continued working independently until she attended a month-long painting workshop taught by the artist, Robert Lougheed, at the Okanagan Game Farm in British Columbia. It was there that she began in earnest painting animals from life as well as rubbing shoulders with and getting advice from artists from all over America. One of those artists receiving instruction from Lougheed was her future husband, John Moyers, of New Mexico.
Another artist who was a valuable influence was the Canadian painter and environmentalist, Clarence Tillenius, who had been a friend and colleague of the painter, Carl Rungius.
Whether painting a portrait, a landscape or a cowgirl riding a horse, Moyer's subjects are things that are beautiful and that move her. “I want to share what I see with other people and help them have the same pleasure I have. Each artist interprets and edits things in a different way, infusing his or her work with a different quality or emotion.”
Moyer's favorite subject is the American cowgirl. “I enjoy painting women,” she says. “I feel women had a major role to play in the West, and maybe that hasn’t been recognized as much as it could be.”
Terri Moyers exhibits annually at the Prix de West Show at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, OK, the Masters of the American West Show at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, in Los Angeles, CA, and Quest for the West held at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, IN. She lives in California with her artist husband, John Moyers. Terri paints in her studio and en plein air while traveling abroad which is another passion of hers.
Throughout the years, Terri Kelly Moyers' work has been featured in numerous articles in the top western art magazines in the country. Many pieces of her work is in museums as well as important private collections.
