This Month's Featured Artist is...  Terry Luper of Oregon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terry has always been a fan of mother nature and the great outdoors. He is an advid photographer and I believe that artistic eye is what makes his handmade art come to life.  To quote Terry, "I've been told that is probably why I was able to come up with the compostitions that I did early in this awesome hobby!" Terry has been a art stamper for almost 15 years now and the obsession hasn't faded one bit.  He just continues to perfect his work. He says he started his stamping journey by first working with stencils. Luckily a coworker introduced him to stamps and the rest is history. Most likely you'll find some of his art embellishing the walls in his bear den. Yes. He has a bear den!  He also makes magnets and lots of gifts out of his artwork for family and friends.  He certainly has a talent for realistic skies and well proportioned masterpieces.  If he taught a class he would like to teach others how to put everything in the right proportion. "I think that keeping things in the proper porportion keeps the viewer interested more and will look deeper into the scene."   Night Kat by Terry Luper Please note:  Image shown may be distorted to fit in space provided but please See Terry's Art Gallery...You may be lucky enough to aquire one of his masterpieces. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebighunk2003 You can also find more of his artwork posted in our Customer Gallery and on the website of one of his favorite teachers Kevin of Stampscapes.
