rtist Terry Isaac is a native Northwesterner, living in the Willamette Valley of Oregon between the Cascade Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean. Isaac paints the wildlife and landscapes of North America. Although Isaac received a formal art education, graduating with honours, he believes that his best training has come from being outdoors and from studying the work of his favorite wildlife artists.

saac particularly admires the art of 19th century painters Thomas Moran and Albert Bierstadt, who painted the dramatic light and landscapes of the West. Isaac, painting predominantly in acrylics, strives to capture not only the characteristics of his wildlife subjects but also the light that surrounds them. He takes a great of care to depict both his subjects and their habitats with accuracy.

saac has been selected to participate in several important art exhibitions, including the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's prestigious "Birds in Art" exhibitions. He was commissioned to produce fourteen waterfowl drawings for the Audubon Bird Handbook, published in 1987, and is the author of Painting the Drama of Wildlife Step by Step, published by North Light Books.
