True cowboy spirit and the American West come alive through Jack Terry’s realistic landscapes and figurative portrayals that have made him one of the most renowned Western artists. Both ranching and painting figure prominently in Terry’s family history and he is successfully carrying on both traditions. During Austin’s Western art boom in the 1970s Western art scene, Terry studied with various esteemed artists and adopted the French style of capturing light on canvas which sets his Western style apart. Among his enthusiastic collectors he counts famous luminaries and corporations, and he also illustrates his own books and those of other authors.
