Terry Redlin
Few artists can rival the standards of
excellence achieved by Master Artist Terry Redlin over the past 18 years.
He is truly one of the country's most widely collected painters of
wildlife and Americana. For five consecutive years, 1991-95, Redlin has
been named America's most popular artist by U.S. Art magazine. His use of
earthy colors, blazing sunrises and sunsets and nostalgic themes are often
cited as the reasons for his immense popularity.
Redlin's interest in the out-of-doors can be traced to his childhood in
Watertown, S.D. A motorcycle accident ended his dream of becoming a forest
ranger, and he opted to pursue a career in the graphic arts. He earned a
degree from the St. Paul School of Associated Arts and spent 25 years
working in commercial art as layout artist, graphic designer, illustrator
and art director. In his leisure time he researched wildlife subjects and
settings.
Since then, Redlin's meteoric rise has been unparalleled in the field of
contemporary wildlife art. In 1981 and 1984, he won the Minnesota Duck
Stamp competition, and in 1982, the Minnesota Trout Stamp contest. He also
placed second that year in the Federal Duck Stamp Competition. He has been
honored as Artist of the Year for Ducks Unlimited (National and
Minnesota), and as Conservationist of the Year-Magnum Donor by the
Minnesota Waterfowl Association for his gifts of entire print editions.
In 1992, he completed his most ambitious work to date, painting each line
in the first stanza of "America the Beautiful." All eight, which
depict American life from the settling of the west to the present day,
were released as limited edition prints over a three year period, ending
in January, 1995. The series has been showcased in art and consumer
magazines nationwide, and it has been acclaimed by thousands of
collectors.
