Karl Terry was born in 1967 in Ashford, Kent. He has drawn and painted all his life but, apart from Art O level, has had no formal training.

Karl Terry is a plein air painter. He paints outside in all weathers, and his paintings represent his personal and immediate response to being immersed in the outdoor atmosphere. He continues to see fresh revelations of colour that open his eyes to the beauty that surrounds us, even in the mundane.

Talking about his paintings Karl Terry says: “I am a prolific plein air painter of landscapes in oil. I paint outside in all weathers and endeavour to catch the essence of a place in a brief moment.”

Karl Terry has exhibited his paintings in a number UK art galleries and art shows. This includes: the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA). In 2010 Karl Terry was winner of the Red Rag Gallery award at the RBA Annual Open Exhibition.
