Beginning in October, 2005, Terry began teaching three-day accredited workshops to train students in the science of color and color analysis for Sci\Art several times each year.

Terry Jo Wildfong - PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT

I have always been interested in color. As a young girl, I loved my boxes of 64 crayons for coloring. Autumn is my favorite season due to the beautiful changing of tree colors we experience here in Michigan. In 1983, I had my personal color analysis done and purchased all four seasonal palettes because I was very interested in the differences between them and why they were arranged in this particular fashion. I further studied the "Color Me Beautiful" book and periodically performed color analysis on clients.

In 1993, I became a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, learning more about the art of skin care and cosmetic application. The following year, I purchased a deluxe color analysis home-study course from Bernice Kentner (Color Me A Season) in California who authored several books and created training materials for students interested in the art of personal color analysis. Through further study and years of experience, I became proficient in my ability to place a client correctly in one of the four seasons, teaching the clients how to use their colors to their best advantage for their wardrobes and cosmetics.

In 2003, while perusing the internet to learn more about color analysis, I found Kathryn Kalisz-Donovan’s website at Sci\Art. After reading her book, "Understanding Your Color," I realized that this was the piece that had been missing in the traditional four-seasonal color analysis approach. Kathryn’s book explained the “science” of color and how she bases her 12-tone color analysis approach on the Munsell three-dimensional color-space theory, which is the world standard on how all color is categorized. I purchased materials from Sci\Art and began using this 12-tone approach.

In 2005, I attended Sci\Art's workshops to increase my learning and more fully understand this 12-tone analysis. I was so fascinated by this approach and totally believed in the science of this program, that I became Kathryn’s intern and learned how to teach the science of color and color draping workshops to students wanting to learn this trade. I now hold periodic three-day accredited workshops for this purpose for Sci\Art.

I have two goals in the field of color. One is to provide my personal clients with information about color, determine their personal color palette, and teach them how to use their colors to purchase clothing and cosmetics to look and feel their best everyday. The other goal is to teach students both the science and importance of color and train them how to use this information personally for themselves and in their fields of business.
