Few artists can rival the standards of excellence
achieved by Master Artist Terry Redlin, over |
| |
the past 23 years. In 1977, at the age of 40,
Redlin burst onto the wildlife scene when his |
| |
painting "Winter Snows" appeared on
the cover of The Farmer magazine. By 1979, demand for |
| |
his work had become so great that he left his
art directing career to concentrate on painting |
| |
wildlife. Redlin’s immense popularity
can also be measured by the success of his books, |
| |
|
| "Opening Windows to the Wild, The Art of
Terry Redlin," released in 1987, and "Master of
|
| Memories," issued ten years later.
Redlin’s most compelling recent project was the |
| construction of a museum to house
his original art in Watertown, South Dakota, where he now
resides. Nearly one million |
| visitors have toured the Redlin
Art Center since it opened in June, 1997. The artist donated
the $10 million museum |
| to the state in appreciation for an art
scholarship he received after graduating from high school
in Watertown. |
