Rafe Terry

(1933-2023)

Born and Raised in Brockton Massachusetts, Rafe Terry is a graduate of the Art Institute of Boston. Upon graduating Terry worked as an Art Director for a Boston Advertising Agency where he won a number of Art Director Awards. Later he established his own graphic art studio.

An Award winning artist, Terry is known for his beautiful floral portraits as well as his hard edge contemporary and traditional southwest landscapes. Awash in color and light his magnificent florals literally seem to leap off of the canvas. These dazzling images both intrigue and captivate.

His contemporary landscapes boldly depict images of the southwest. The deft use of color captures the expansive nature of the scenery in a strikingly unique manner. Monuments become reminiscent of architecture and the lush panoramas seem to call to the viewer to immerse themselves literally in the movement of light.
