Bio

Terry Kolb Spyker lives in Denton, TX, a city in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. He works for the University of North Texas as a Lecturer for the CVAD Foundations Program. Terry’s primary responsibilities include managing and supervising INET lectures, mentoring and evaluating teaching and adjunct assistants, curriculum development, and classroom support. Terry’s academic research expands on known pedagogies by integrating e-learning technologies like AI tools and immersive training simulations designed to increase student performance and retention in the classroom.  

As a practicing artist, Terry uses printmaking and its related methodologies (the matrix, the multiple, image simplification, etc.) as a system for exploring concepts. He is technically proficient in traditional print media, and experiments with post-digital print techniques. In addition to printmaking, Davis is an avid drawer, painter, and occasional sculptor. His fine art, freelance commissions, and public art rely on a mixture of analog, digital image, and material-based processes.  

Challenging widely accepted societal beliefs, the fine art Terry creates delves into the intricacies of gender roles, whiteness, and late-stage capitalism. His latest body of work dissects the traditional American mythos of masculinity. By scrutinizing the entrenched male gender roles and stereotypes reinforced by a white media-driven narrative, Terry's art encourages a thoughtful reevaluation of the cultural fabric that dictates these norms.
