A woman with short brown hair wearing a black-and-white striped sleeveless dress sits at a wooden table in a restaurant, resting her chin on her hand while smiling at the camera, with plates of colorful food—including enchiladas drizzled with white sauce, rice, and a tri-colored burrito—set in front of her.

Christa Terry

Senior Arts & Culture Editor

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/section editor at a Queens weekly 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, but through it all, art never stopped being her North Star. Now she’s back where she belongs, curating Observer's Arts and Culture sections with an eye toward what to see, the artists to know and how markets move.
