Terry Zigmund graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, NY with a degree in Psychology and Art Therapy, in 1990. Her interest in art and exploring new mediums led her to take a continuing education class in stained glass in 1991. She immediately became fascinated with the medium and continued to read about and experiment with it.
The desire to live in a community more culturally and artistically rich led her to move to Burlington, VT in 1998. She immediately opened a studio in the vibrant South End Arts District of Burlington and began making and teaching stained glass and mosaic. She has taught for Frog Hollow, Burlington City Arts, Burlington Community Schools Project, VSA Arts Vermont, The Community College of Vermont and Senior Centers in Chittenden County. Terry continues to teach stained glass design and mosaic design for The Community College of Vermont, VSA Arts Vermont and The New North End Youth Center.
“I am fascinated by glass as a medium for its dualities. It is strong yet fragile, solid yet molecularly unstable and, unlike other mediums glass is effected by illumination - both the presence and absence of - thus creating a different experience for the viewer that is dependent upon light.”
Terry has been commissioned to create windows for restaurants, bed and breakfasts and private residences in the Northeast and continues to create a diverse body of work that is exhibited in galleries throughout North America.
In 2005, Terry was awarded an Artist Development Grant from the Vermont Arts Council; this grant supported attendance at an International Architectural Stained Glass Conference in Iceland. She also won a Festival Award in the Arts Alive Festival of the Arts 2004 for her piece entitled “Early Spring Emergence”.
Terry’s interest in community arts and public art has led her to pursue facilitating several projects in Burlington and Winooski. In 2008, in collaboration with VSA Arts VT and Champlain Metals, Terry facilitated a public art project which created a stained glass mosaic and metal dome that is permanently installed in a park on Hyde, School and North Streets in Burlington. Other community arts projects include a mosaic project in collaboration with Burlington City Arts Summer Camps and the ECHO Center at Lake Champlain; a sculptural installation created with the staff and clients of The Howard Center for Human Services as part of the South End Art Hop; a mosaic mural in collaboration with Winooski Parks and Recreation, and the “September 11 Remembrance Window”, created by students at The Community College of Vermont.
