About the artist.
Terry Wheeler is a lifelong artist based in Houston, Texas, devoted to a career as a figurative and narrative artist. He is committed to pushing boundaries in expressive portraiture with an emphasis on the sculptural aspects of oil painting. He has discovered an interest in painting more mature subjects due to the unique character that can be revealed only through time, experience, and the aging process.
Terry currently has an installation of several paintings that you can see at the Carl Jung Center in Houston, TX from Nov. 11th to Dec. 20th. (“Box of Photos”, “The Jacket,” and “Broken”)
