Terry Isaac is a world-renowned wildlife artist. Isaac was raised in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where his passion for wildlife first took root. Initially drawn to animation and cartooning, Terry’s artistic journey evolved after attending art college. While initially interested in children’s book illustration, he rediscovered his childhood fascination with wildlife. Since the mid-1980s, Terry has dedicated himself to creating realistic wildlife art, emphasizing meticulous detail and evocative lighting.

Throughout his illustrious career, Terry has been honored as the “Artist of the Year” at numerous prestigious art shows and expos. He has also excelled in over a dozen stamp and print competitions, contributed to Audubon Society handbooks, and played a lead role in developing characters for Walt Disney productions. His work is prominently displayed in permanent collections such as the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and the Bennington Center for The Arts, as well as in esteemed collections such as American Airlines and the First National Bank of South Africa. The secondary market for Isaac’s paintings remains quite strong with original works selling at leading international auction houses, further cementing his status as a leading figure in wildlife art.
