Terry Marie Ananny (née Broughton) was born 1956 in Toronto, Ontario. She showed an early interest in art and moved to Ottawa in 1975 to attend Carleton University. She attended art classes and group showings with the Ottawa Art Association and discovered the work of the Group of Seven, Marc A Fortin, Clarence Gagnon Emily Carr and Henri Masson at the National Gallery of Canada. Their work helped to inspire and develop her own vibrant style which continues to evolve. Her subjects often feature domestic scenes, townscapes, landscapes and figurative work.
