Hey Terry! I hope you are well. I still have your painting on my wall that you gifted me for my birthday (2019). It's framed in my living room. You met me through Fiona! I think of you often and hope you are doing good From: Trish

Hi Terry, I first bought one of your T-shirts in Penticton. At that time, over ten years ago, maybe over twenty, , it was made by  Native Origins. It quickly became my favorite T-shirt. I should say that your shirt is unlike any other T-shirt I have in that there is artwork on the back, in fact, about twice as much as there is on the front. But has started to get holes in it, so I looked for another one on web. I found one on the Haida Museum website in Haida Gwai, bought it, and saw it was made by Native Northwest, so I bought one from Native Northwest too. On their website site I learned that it was you who made it. Now I have three and when I wear a T-shirt, I most always wear a four clan T-shirt. It was very nice to  learn your name and that of your T-shirt on the NN website, and I thank you very much for making them Rufus Day

I recently purchased a water bottle with your eagle design on it. It's gorgeous and will remind me of this important trip I took to Vancouver recently. Thank you for sharing your great art.

I'm so sorry everyone as I just discovered all these awesome comments.

I have a pair of napkin rings by you and would like to get more. They feature the salmon.

All your work is so beautiful. Brenda and I used to hangout at your house in Port Simpson BC. Take care.

I wasca pupil in your dad's language class and have pleasant memories of them. My son Benedict gave me this link and I was inspired by it. Loogal an Tshimoyghit!

I’m so happy to have found your web site! My maternal grandmother grew up in Lax k’walaams. But I have very little knowledge of her life there. I’m grateful to see some of the culture and beautiful art . Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hi uncle!! Thank you for the invite to see your amazing work. You are amazing.

Absolutely stunning! Yet another approach to familiar images - your work makes me happy!

Hi Terry, one of your pieces of art just kinda ended up with me. I want to let you know that it's a beautiful piece.

Long time no see! Love your creations!

I’m so impressed with your quality of art and level of spirituality. I try to speak the same language with my music. Well done Mr. Starr keep it up!

Hi Terry, I really admire your work. One of my favorite works of art is the "Supernatural Halibut" (in the creams and red, not gray)--I have it as an art card that I purchased years ago on a trip to Alaska. I was wondering if there was any way that a large scale print might be available. Thank you for your time, Michael Lindquist

Someone broke into my truck and stole a bag with the Four Clans hoodie in it. I really missed it. I searched all over the web. I just found and ordered a new one. I am overjoyed. Nothing compares to your designs. Thank you.

Mr. Starr, several years ago we were visiting Vancouver and we purchased a painting of yours of a double eagle. It sits above our mantle as our most prized artwork. I am not born of First Nation, but I am 3rd generation in the PNW - Montana and Washington - and to me Alki is my home, from many years and a couple of generations. I have moved a few times to live and work in other areas - Arizona and even overseas - but the salt water and glaciers are in my blood and I have always come back to the place that feels home. I love the painting you produced and it is my favorite artwork. I am getting old now, but whenever I look at your double eagle I feel comfortable and at ease. I am writing this simply to thank you for making art that sets my mind at ease, relaxes me, and makes me feel at home, safe, and comfortable. Thank you. --Steve Paasch (425) 999-0004

Hello Terry, I recognized your kind eyes and realized that we were friends many moons ago in PR. Your work is fabulous as always your friend, Theresa

Beautiful work.... I now own one of Terry's carvings. Added to some other pieces of mine by Glen Rabina, Randy Stiglitz, Frank White Eagle, and a few others, the collection is coming along really nicely. Hopefully I'll be able to continue adding to the collection.

I don't know if your see these comments or not. I just wanted to leave a note on how I found you. Exploring on Google Maps. I found Lax Kw'alaams to be an interesting name. Googled it then you were listed in the Prominent people of Lax Kw'alaam decent. Just cool how something leads you to another. Your artwork is beautiful. Keep on keeping on. -Leah

Terry, I remember when you and Gary Tait were First Aid Attendants In 1973. You fixed my saw-cut hand. blond hair, gumseewa. It's been 40 years. Good to see you are doing well.

beautiful work I am tshimsian killerwhale from the island reservation in Alaska

vos oeuvres sont tres harmonieuses et merveilleuses. Je demeure au Québec et le printemps dernier j'ai visité le University of BC muséum. Je suis éprise de l'art Haida. Je m'intéresse à la peinture Haida pour peindre comme vous .Je lis sur votre culture car j'ai un plaisirs à vous connaître et surtout connaître votre forme d'art . Cela vient me toucher droit au coeur. J'espere un jour apprendre comment faire cette peinture . Est-ce possible pour un blanc de peindre comme dans votre culture. Je suis certaine que dans une autre vie j'ai été Haida, cela me touche trop. Merci

Hello Terry, I'm not sure that you will remember me but long ago we knew each other in Rupert. I still have the photographs of you and Sandy Miller that were taken for advertising for my shop in The Daily News! I was recently in Seattle and was given the gift of a trip to a First Nations centre on an island nearby...the was a travel cup with your wonderful design there and it now travels with me! Thanks so much, I really enjoy it and am grateful to think that you went on in art. With kind regards, Zandra.

Love your work Terry, I am an emerging artist from the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, still finishing my second year. From one artist to another msg me anytime. Fome Linda Bolton from Kitsumkalum

My My My !!! Your very own web site! How have you been? It was so good to see your face again.You have all of the obligatory grey hair, and in all the appropriate places to boot! Please drop me a note?

I am amazed.......so impressive!

"There is a spirit there in his work that not all artists have. His work is expressive, innovative, and exquisitely clean."

I am fortunate to own one of Terry's beautiful original art pieces. It makes a great addition to my collection of West Coast Art.
