Teri Coté is an artist of several mediums, from music to painting and many facets in between. She has been a visual artist since the age of three, when she remembers being in her mother’s art room. Both of her parents were and are great painters. Teri has shown her work at the Photo Creations art gallery in Medford, Oregon, and her work has been shown in Winchester at Rubini Art. Her jewelry line DRUM JEWELS has been worn by several musical celebrities, including Pink's drummer Mark Schulman and Zoro, the drummer who toured with Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, and Phillip Bailey; custom DRUM JEWELS pieces have been acquired by Ray Benson from Asleep at the Wheel and David Cassidy. The line is available at Jackson Junge Art Gallery in Wicker Park, Chicago.
Teri's musical talents became evident very early when she created a drum set of her own from the kitchen with containers, wooden spoons as sticks and a Folgers coffee can as her throne. She got her first real drum set in seventh grade when she joined the drum corps. Teri has played professionally with many people around the globe; most notably, she was David Cassidy's drummer for 15 years, up to his passing in 2017. She also sings and plays guitar. Currently, she’s working on her own original music in a personal project and also in a duo with Berklee College Professor Jane Potter called JAMPROV.
Teri has been teaching drums for over 25 years. She teaches at 247Drums in downtown Winchester as well as online. Her artistic creations can be seen at her boutique at 5B Park Street in Winchester.
