As a young child he began what was to be his
life calling-he began to paint. Such Intuitiveness and burgeoning
creativity early on provided him with a desire to excel and thus
pursue his natural talents. Getting to the point of painting exclusively
has been a challenging, yet very insightful path for Dale TerBush.
Initially trying to find "A Real Job," he was fortunate
to find a career in design that kept him centered in a facet of
the art world.
Interior design of a large chain of restaurants
allowed him to bring his talents to the awareness of the public.
Painting a mural on a focal wall of a restaurant gained notice
and praise by the restaurants president. Soon TerBush became head
of the interior design department for the company and then worked
his way to the position of Vice President. Success in the business
world was achieved, so much so that TerBush has designed over
300 establishments. Once again the prolific artist rose to the
top and achieved success in this artistic field.
Ever the enthusiast, Dale TerBush found that
life in the corporate world was lacking the outlet for his drive
and desire to paint full time. So being an adventurer, he and
his wife Krista headed for Santa Fe, New Mexico in the early 1990's
to pursue his ultimate dream. Painting became his one true passion
and propelled him in to the competitive art scene of Santa Fe.
TerBush found his audience. In record speed the artist built a
following of avid collectors and his dream soon became a reality.
Dale TerBush captures a landscape that comes
from within his own imagination. It flows from his own sense of
spirit and self. TerBush, a poet with paint, evokes the emotional
response as in romantic prose. Each Dale TerBush landscape is
a unique dream world. Initially familiar, a closer look reveals
a world of its own. The painting becomes an experience rather
than merely a sensation. The romantic visions are often compared
to the Hudson river School - the 19th Century body of artists
who glorified nature, creating Eden-like scenes of lakes, rivers,
mountains and other pastoral subjects.
In his paintings an intensity is found in the use of color and
light. Dale TerBush is a Master at illumination and the use of
exciting, yet unexpected, color. Some have even compared his use
of color to the 20th Century Master Maxfield Parrish.
Along with his dynamic painting, TerBush also
now enjoys sharing with his collectors his romantic poetry and
inspirational quotes. Dale TerBush is the quintessential artist
and poet; his inspiration and energy is passed on to all who experience
this work. In 1994 he and his wife once again picked up and moved
to the art destination of Scottsdale, Arizona to further expand
his market. Finding new horizons of inspiration and an even broader
audience, TerBush continues to widen the scope of his work. Now
with remarqued Giclees on Canvas he has found another way of interpreting
his work. All of the intensity and presence of a TerBush painting
is showcased in his Giclees on Canvas.
Whether it is an original painting or remarkable reproduction,
Dale TerBush's work is highly sought after all over the world.
Collectors of his paintings range from Celestine Prophecy author
James Redfield, Developer Donald Trump, Country Western singer
Reba McIntire and International Heads of State - to name a few.
TerBush has broken gallery records world wide and has had four
spectacular sell out shows in Japan. His International acclaim
rapidly continues to grow. Dale TerBush reveals beauty and emotion
in his ethereal landscapes; each painting a poetic symbol of a
powerful experience and a dream not to be forgotten. TerBush paints
the Heavens but reveals the soul.
