About Me

I'm a Visual Artist, whose work has been described as "INTENSE FINE ART."

My artwork celebrates the beauty of everyday life: mostly through portraits. As of late, I've been focusing on genre portraits - which is art portraying people within their environment.A few of my portraits are displayed in the "Pics" section: including my works of Sheryl Crow, Brett Favre, and Frank Sinatra. "Compassion" is my latest artwork: it is displayed, along with its artist's statement in the blog section.
If You'd Like a more complete review of my artwork, you can go to my website: which is entitled "INSPIRED VISIONS OF AN INVISIBLE SOUL" at - http://rjterryartist.com

I grew-up in Northern Wisconsin. Most of my youth was spent studying classical music. I played a number of instruments, however the one I became accomplished at was the trumpet. The symphony, in which I played, was nationally acclaimed. We recorded 3 albums and on occasion we had the honor of being directed by the internationally renowned composer Vaclav Nelhybel.


I went on to university studies, where my major was Business Administration. And, my first visual arts class was actually taken during my senior year. I had a wonderful instructor who encouraged me to delve further into the field. Since then, I've taken many more classes at a number of universities.
My art is featured in collections from New York City to Bangkok. My portraiture has appeared in magazines like MuscleMag International and in art galleries from Las Vegas to Baltimore. You can, also, see my work at The Green Bay Packer Football Hall of Fame.
After a very tumultuous couple of years, I have finally opened my new art studio in Green Bay, Wisconsin. And that's the Reader's Digest/Myspace version of my bio. Of course, my website has the full unabridged version. ;-)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've been very lucky to do a lot of traveling in my life. I've, also, been lucky to meet a lot of famous people in private situations. People like Johnny Carson and Elvis Presley. I went to college with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But, it's the same traits that make famous people interesting to meet that make anyone appealing. ...........................I really love people that can accentuate the positive! Individuals that accentuate the negative get old fast (and that is meant to be taken in a number of ways). I once talked to a theatre critic and he told me how much he loved bad shows - because, it was "so much easier to write a great review of a bad show than of a good one." ...... SO, WHO WOULD I LIKE TO MEET: IF YOU ARE ONE WHOSE LIFE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING BAD FOR YOU TO LOOK GOOD. IF YOUR DAILY JOY COMES FROM THE POSITIVE AND NOT THE NEGATIVE - I'd like to meet you.
