TERRY JENOURE

Dr. Terry Jenoure musician, visual artist, writer and educator was born into a Puerto Rican and Jamaican family and grew up in New York’s Bronx River Housing Projects. A 2023 recipient of the prestigious Creative Capital award among numerous other accolades, she began playing violin at age 8 and after 15 years of European classical study became a protégé of Free Jazz pioneers. A self-taught visual artist who works with assemblage fiber figures and watercolor illustrations, her hand-stitched works were commissioned by the Smithsonian Institute Museum shop and appear in private collections. Jenoure’s poetry, essays, and arts-based research are featured in numerous publications. She served as graduate faculty over a twenty-year period and has lectured internationally. She was the Director of Augusta Savage Art Gallery at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, curating over 200 exhibitions and performances for three decades. Terry Jenoure has masters and doctoral degrees in Education, and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy.
