Terry Mcgraw

My name is Terry McGraw. Born late in my parents' life, my father retired when I was six years old and moved the family to rural NW Oklahoma where I went through school, eventually graduating high school in the farming community of Greenfield, with a class of nine.

While I could possibly scrape together enough college credits to count for a couple years, I ran out of money, and, let's face it, interest in college. I didn't know what I wanted in life but whatever is was, I didn't think I'd ever find it in Oklahoma so I ventured out west.On February 1st of 1980, I got off the bus in downtown Los Angeles, California. After teaching in private schools for several years I became interested in real estate and ended up as a project manager for a real estate developer in Temecula, California. If you've ever heard of the "Hobie Cat" catamaran, the builder of those double-hulled boats, Hobart (Hobie) Alter, was the financial partner in the company I worked for.

After 25 years in SoCal, I moved back to my old rural Oklahoma stomping grounds with my wife and adopted son. About 4 years later, in January of 2008, I bought my first "real" camera and started taking pictures of anyone and anything thing that would stand still long enough for...

My work graced some wall space at Gallery One located in the Paseo Arts District of Oklahoma City during the months of March and April of this year, as it will for the entire second half of 2019, I am working on becoming a permanent exhibitor there.
