Terry Gardner is an artist who has been involved with Ranchlands for almost 10 years. He is originally from St. Louis where he had a career balancing commercial and fine art. He was influenced early on by old westerns on tv and in film, gaining a love and appreciation for the American West.

After moving to Colorado, Terry left the advertising world and took up painting full time. He describes himself as “an expressive tonalist, where values and colors come from the soul to engage with meaningful brushstrokes”. In this episode, we talk to Terry about his journey through the art world and how he has connected with the subjects of his paintings as well as the land.
