Terry Isaac (continued)

Artist, teacher, and author Terry Isaac is perhaps best known for his popular wildlife prints distributed by Mill Pond Press (Venice, Florida) since 1988. Painting predominantly in acrylics, he strives to capture dramatic moments in nature that are convincingly realistic and scientifically correct. A large part of his success is due to his extensive reference materials. Although Terry has a formal art education, he believes his painting improved most when he dedicated himself to actual fieldwork and studying the works of other artists in greater detail. He is exacting with very high standards. He honors his subjects.

Terry has been selected to participate in many prestigious shows and exhibitions:

1. Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum’s prestigious “Birds in Art” exhibitions
2. The Artist’s View (1990, 1993)
3. Wildlife Art in America, James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History Minneapolis (1994)
4. Commissioned to paint the New York duck stamp (1991)
5. Fourteen waterfowl drawings for the Audubon Bird Handbooks (1987)

Terry’s paintings are represented in many of the most sought after wildlife collections in print. He currently resides in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and specializes in birds and animals of North America. A recent trip to Africa has expanded his repertoire of natural subjects.
