Terrill Warrenburg is an artist and independent curator living and working in the tri-state area.
Warrenburg’s abstract painting practice is rooted in process, where repetition, layering, and material interaction guide the outcome as much as intention. Often working on canvases over the course of years, she uses acrylic, spray paint, and loose pigment to explore the tension between control and chance through instinctual gestures, poured paint, imprints, and accumulated layers that record time and movement within each surface. Her paintings evolve through cycles of building and disruption, creating shifting depths and atmospheres. Painting becomes both an investigation and a meditation—a way to move through uncertainty, trace transformation, and invite prolonged looking and reflection.
Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions include Relative Pursuits at the Art Alliance of Monmouth County (2026), Edges of Light at Harrison Public Library (2026), and Compositions for Tomorrow at Gertrude White Gallery (2025). Group exhibitions include presentations at The Painting Center, NADA Curated, the Delaware Contemporary, A.I.R. Gallery, and the Monmouth Museum, among others.
Warrenburg also independently curates exhibitions in the New York and Philadelphia areas. She is currently curating a forthcoming exhibition at the Flinn Gallery in Greenwich, CT entitled Throughline with co-curator Ellen Hawley. Her projects have included EST & UTC +5, an international collaboration between Philadelphia and Karachi; RUB at Flux Factory, New York, exploring activist art and alternative media; and FOUND at Little Berlin, Philadelphia, featuring artwork created from discarded and recycled materials. Her curatorial projects often incorporate workshops, discussions, publications, and other forms of community engagement, reflecting her belief that exhibitions should be accessible, approachable, and capable of fostering connection and empathy.
Warrenburg received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016, majoring in Fine Art with minors in Art History and French. She works full-time at Sean Kelly Gallery in New York City, where she manages international art fairs and special projects. She serves on the Steering Committee of the Professional Organization of Women in the Arts and the Flinn Gallery Committee at Greenwich Library.
