The background of
Terry Dunlap

 
"My art is my freedom. It transforms me, transcending everyday restrictions, taking me to another time, another element. I am growing, seeking and finding new insights into my life and consequently, my work. Each painting I create is my best... until I do my next. This is why I paint."

Murals

A number of Terry’s murals appear coast to coast. The largest is a 60-foot long wall in a dental office in Los Angeles, CA. The tallest is 16 feet high at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Denver, CO. Murals are a perfect way to "live in the art."
