About Teri Moy
Boasting a 20+ year career in photography, Teri Moy is a master visual storyteller with a knack for capturing subtleties and creating bespoke images. Professionally, Teri specializes in portrait, architecture, and lifestyle photography. Personally, Teri enjoys travel photography, which engages her appreciation for everything that encapsulates culture – from food, to art, to architecture, to people.

Underpinning her personal and professional work in the arts and philanthropy is Teri’s commitment to her faith, which she credits for helping her endure her own personal trials and emerge better, not bitter.
About the Project
Teri describes the Mosaic Women project as a calling. Combining her passions for visual storytelling, faith-based living, and female empowerment, Mosaic Women has grown into a series of tools and spaces for connection and inspiration.
This calling first came to Teri in 2017 when she began seeking stories from and about women who had endured trials or tragedies, emerging from the experience better, and not bitter. Today, Teri has photographed and collected stories from 17 women across the globe.
Teri’s visions for the Mosaic Women project include a book, an art exhibition, and a series of online resources. By sharing these stories of triumph over tragedy, Teri hopes to support and inspire others during seasons of hardship.

About the Women
A mosaic is created by assembling broken pieces of stone, tile, or glass into a picture or pattern. The Mosaic Women are individuals who have trusted Christ with the broken pieces of their own lives, from which He has created new meaning and a new masterpiece.
All 17 inaugural Mosaic Women were personally encountered by or referred to photographer Teri Moy while researching and recruiting for the project. In the Bible, the number 17 symbolizes overcoming the enemy and complete victory. Indeed, each of the Mosaic Women embody what it means to overcome tragedy through identity in Christ, purpose, and faith.
