The Artist’s Biography 

Born in Chicago, Illinois, as a young child Terrence became increasingly attracted to the world of art, and painting eventually becoming his primary interest.  After many years of formal and informal training including private instruction from professors at the Art Institute of Chicago, he graduated 3rd in class and obtained a degree in the field of commercial advertising.

In 1968 Mr. Horn moved to southern Florida, presenting him with the challenge of capturing the beauty of all of the various lush tropical landscapes. Through experimentation he developed a tropical style earning him a position designing artwork for a leading international T-shirt company. This position enabled him to create designs for various Disney enterprises; numerous cruise lines, and countless resorts and businesses in the Caribbean, as well as a wide variety of exotic ports-of-call around the globe.

Mr. Horn has said, “I love using the brightest colors of the palette enabling me to create whimsical, fun and carefree scenes.  It is my firm belief that while viewing my work you might somehow obtain a feeling of a total removal of the many stress levels we encounter during our lifetime.  If I had to give a name to the type of work I create it would be called ‘Tropical Folk Art Impressionism.’  I hope everyone who views my work will continue to enjoy it for many years to come.”
