After growing up in Kansas City, she moved to Salina, Kansas, where she was inspired to explore the themes of human relationship with the land. Evans' work explores the environmental impact of humans on the landscape in the American Midwest prairie and is notable for aerial perspective photos of prairies. Her work has been collected by several Museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1996 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for her work in phot0. For most of her life, Terry Evans has lived in the American Midwest. Evan's career as an artist started in 1968 when she graduated from the University of Kansas with a BFA in painting and commercial art. In 1996, Evans starting working on a body of work that studied the mixed-grass prairie landscape from its northern border in Canada, to its southern border in Texas. During this project, a new form of photography was used by the photographer, aerial photography. From a Cessna 172 aircraft, Evans photographed the landscape from miles above over the course of several years, creating captivating images. Interested in how the landscape changes from North to South, Evans was interested in capturing the landscape in a way that could tell stories about the prairies, showing its history and beauty, even when the land appeared to be damaged by development and fracking. The photographs Evans created in this series guided her photographic career, laying the groundwork for following projects and commissioned works. Over the course of her career, Terry Evans has been awarded several grants, including the 1996 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, and the 2006 Anonymous Was a Woman Fellowship. In 2012, the Nelson-Atkins museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri exhibited the photographers first retrospective titled "Heartland: The Photographs of Terry Evans." The retrospective consisted on 100 photographs from Evans, ranging from early black and white portrait work starting in 1971, to the recent colorful images of aerial landscapes.
