Dan Terry
Artist Bio
The extensive breadth and excellence of the work of multitalented, multidegreed, modern Renaissance man, Dan Terry of Austin, TX is almost unfathomable.
Known for his work in film, television production, the fine arts of painting, digital 3D, interactive murals and animation, music performance, guitar design and restoration; set, film, product, and graphic design, writing (author of four books on human sexual chemistry on Amazon and several screenplays), and teaching.
His work has won national and regional awards and acclaim in Computer Animation (Siggraph Aurora Animation 1985), Fine art painting (many in juried and museum exhibitions including full election to the Pastel Society of America), Teaching (National Student Advertising Competition faculty advisor 1990, and others), acting and graphic design.
One of the pioneers in CGI 3D modeling and rendering, in recent times he's returned to traditional media with a modern twist in the recent unveiling of two murals in the heart of Austin's music entertainment district, one in which static painted images appear to animate as programmable LED lighting changes hue.
His work is in the permanent collections of the Witte Museum and the historic Alamo in San Antonio.
