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. His work has also been exhibited by the Royal Academy and at London's Mall Galleries.
