About Terry Redlin

Terry Avon Redlin (1937–2016) was an American illustrator and painter celebrated for his warmly lit scenes of rural landscapes, wildlife, and outdoor life. Born in Watertown, South Dakota, Redlin pursued art after a motorcycle accident at age 15 led to the loss of a leg and a state scholarship to attend art school. He worked as a commercial artist before devoting himself to the wildlife and outdoor paintings that made him a household name. During the 1990s, annual gallery surveys conducted by U.S. Art magazine repeatedly named him "America's most popular artist." His signature style features golden twilight skies, campfire glows, and starry nights over quiet countryside and woodland settings. The Redlin Art Center in Watertown preserves over 160 of his original oil paintings and is open to the public free of charge.

Common works and media

Redlin is best known for original oil paintings and their limited-edition print reproductions, issued as lithographs and giclées on paper and canvas. Common subjects include whitetail deer, waterfowl, autumn woodlands, lakeside cabins, and campfire scenes rendered in his characteristic warm twilight palette. Licensed products—collectible plates, mugs, framed decor items, and seasonal giftware—are also widely distributed through the Redlin Art Center and retail channels and may appear in appraisal contexts.

Market and appraisal context

Terry Redlin's work circulates widely in the secondary market, primarily as limited-edition lithographic and giclée prints rather than original paintings, which remain scarce. Collectors evaluating Redlin works should consider whether a piece is an original oil, a signed and numbered limited-edition print, or a licensed reproduction such as a collectible plate or home-decor item. Edition size, signature, condition, framing, and the specific subject matter all influence value. His most recognized compositions—twilight landscapes, wildlife groupings, and nostalgic rural scenes—tend to attract the strongest interest at auction.
