Art is the expression of human creative skills and imaginations captured as a painting or sculptures. Art has been around for many years. Some say there were finding of some cave paintings, sculptures, rock paintings, and petroglyphs from the Upper Paleolithic dating back to about 40,000 years ago.
Terry Redlin, one of the most widely collected modern painters today, was born on July 11, 1937 and was raised in a small town of Watertown, South Dakota. As a small boy all he was ed to do was hunt, fish and wonder in the woods. Terry Redlin said that nature was his favorite teacher. After a tragic accident at the age of 15, Terry Redlin decided to fully devoted himself in to art. He earned his college degree from St. Paul School of Associated Arts in St. Paul, Minnesota and got married at the age of 19 to a woman named Helen Langenfeld. In 1977, Redlin sold his first two prints for 10. From 1991 through 1998, Terry Redlin was named America’s most admired artist in annual gallery surveys conducted by U.S. Art magazine and has accumulated several impressive awards and recognitions throughout his career.
