The back entrance to Mass Ave Knits, in Fountain Square, is enlivened by a bright mural of abstract plants created by Indianapolis artist Teri Barnett. The whimsical nature of this “garden” pairs nicely with the real gardens seen just across the parking lot, belonging to the neighborhood’s modest homes.

Born in Southeastern Michigan, Teri takes her inspiration from the lakes and landscapes of her home state and from quilt makers, both in her family and beyond.  She often uses a minimalist approach in her paintings, depicting images at their most basic expressions of shape, color, and texture.  The visual tension of rocky lake beds against sandy shores, man-made structures, and bright colored flowers figure prominently in her work.
