Terry Gonzales is the owner and operator of Artist Edge Photography, a Denver-area photography business.

Her goal in photography is to capture an artistic point of view of a moment in time – making ordinary and strange things look artistic and causing people to take notice.

She enjoys doing portraits, taking senior pictures and photographing bellydancing, skateboarding and other events.

Many of her pictures are on display at Denver businesses, Web sites and are used by Denver-area belly dancers. Her work is currently on display at Pangea Yoga, Massage & Expressive Arts Center.

She has a diverse background, including painting, metalsmithing and jewelry design. She's also taken up bellydancing, and when she's not performing at events, you can often find her taking photos at events.

During the day, Gonzales is an art teacher. She's taught for 14 years, 13 of them at Denver Public Schools. She has a B.F.A. in Art from Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colo.
