Involved with Aboriginal communities all his life, he has travelled to reservations throughout North America participating in Powwow dancing along with his Native ceremonies. Houle utilizes at his discretion performance, photography, video/film, music, and
painting. Likewise, Houle's practice includes tools of mass dissemination such as billboards and vinyl bus signage.
A graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, Terrance Houle received his B.F.A in 2003. In 2004 he received the award for Best Experimental Film at the Toronto ImagineNATIVE Film Festival and in 2006 he received the Enbridge Emerging Artist Award.

His work is also featured in the Alberta Art Gallery 2018 exhibition LandMark and is part of the gallery’s permanent collection. Houle maintains his practice and lives in Calgary, Alberta.
