Karl Terry is a plein air painter who lives just outside the medieval town of Rye in East Sussex. He has drawn and painted all his life but, apart from Art O level, has had no formal training. He considers himself very lucky, however, to paint with his mentor and Grammar School Art teacher, Chris Daynes.  Karl also feels that, like most plein air painters, he has the best teacher of all in nature itself.

Karl paints outside in all weathers, and his work represents 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.

He is represented by several galleries in England, and in The USA by Galerie Gabrie in Pasadena. Karls work has also been exhibited at: 

The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition
The Royal Society of Marine Artists – Mall Galleries, London
The Discerning Eye – Mall Galleries
The Royal Society of British Artists - Mall Galleries

In 2008 he was awarded the Windsor and Newton Award at the Patchings Art Festival and in 2010 he was awarded the Redrag Award at The Royal society of British Artists annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries. This year he has been elected as a member of The Wapping Group of Artists and has been featured on BBC2,s `Show me the Monet`
