Terrance Osborne

Terrance Osborne, a 30-year-old native New Orleanian, grew up in the heart of the culturally rich city, being inspired by his diverse and colorful social surroundings. Osborne always held an undercurrent interest in art, largely fueled by his mother and his older brother. Fascinated by color, Osborne worked with whatever materials he could get his hands on. Finally, in 1991, under the guidance of artist Richard Thomas, he was able to paint with the passion and expression that he had been so desperate to release. Osborne graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Xavier University in New Orleans and in the same year began teaching in the public school system. Over the past 10 years Osborne has been featured in many news venues in the city. In 2004 he received the honorary "Forty Under Forty Award" for his teaching and artistic contributions to the city of New Orleans.
