Terry Rentzepis is self-taught. He began experimenting with painting after undergoing major back surgery. He mostly works in acrylic on canvas and loves to work with old-world quills and ink.

Starting with a blank canvas, Terry creates his works as goes, allowing his paint brush to guide his eyes.   He believes in still moments and wants viewers to feel like they are intruding on his characters, stumbling upon secret, guarded and very private emotions.

Terry lives in Coconut Grove, Florida with his beautiful wife Sheri and their son Jake as well as three furry creatures: Ghost, a two-year old Doberman, Face, eight-year old mistake and Ghetto, a seven-year old black cat.
