Christa Terry’s Biography
Christa Terry is a writer-editor hybrid with a knack for turning out words as striking as the artworks they describe. She cut her teeth as an arts reporter in Queens before making the leap to marketing, where she spent years spinning stories on everything from cutting-edge tech to high-end living for nonprofits and brands like Pampers and TripAdvisor. Along the way, she authored a wedding planning book for Simon & Schuster, and through it all, art never stopped being her North Star. Now she’s back where she belongs, curating Observer's Arts section with an eye toward what to see, the artists to know and how the art market moves. For PITCHES, use artnews@observer.com.
