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.
Redlins 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.
Redlins 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.
