The extensive breadth and excellence of the work of multitalented, multidegreed, modern Renaissance man, Dan Terry of Austin, Tx is almost unfathomable.
Known for his work in film, television production, the fine arts of painting, digital 3D, interactive murals and animation, music performance, guitar design and restoration; set, film, product and graphic design, writing, and teaching.
Dan Terry is a multiple award winning, internationally recognized painter whose work merges Renaissance draftsmanship, Impressionist light, and a contemporary sensitivity to nature. His paintings of ponds, trees, flowers, and reflective water are distinguished by luminous color, layered surfaces, and a quiet emotional depth that rewards sustained looking.
With more than 40 exhibitions, museum associations including the Alamo, the Witte Museum, Mexic-Arte Museum, and McNay Art Museum, and a distinguished extensive record of awards and honors, Terry’s career carries the kind of provenance collectors value. His work has also been published in about a dozen books, further strengthening its collectible significance and cultural reach.
Because much of Terry’s professional life has included art & mural commissions for major public and corporate clients, including Hilton Hotels, the Government of Indonesia, Walmart, Dell, Microsoft and more, his original easel paintings remain comparatively rare. That scarcity, combined with his exhibition history and institutional recognition, makes each work especially compelling to collectors seeking beauty, credibility, and long-term value.
