About the Artist

Traditional concepts of technique, design and spirit are the foundation of paintings created by Bill Ternes. An affinity to see and interpret his environment using brilliant, highly saturated hues and bold brush strokes produce visual images that are suggested rather than finely delineated. His paintings reflect a conceptual essence permitting the viewer to play a pivotal role in the interpretative process.

The paintings of Homer, Sargent and Sorolla have significantly influenced his painting philosophy.

Collected internationally by private and corporate patrons from the Caribbean, Europe, North America and Japan, his work has received major awards in national shows.

A popular teacher using a workshop format, he has conducted numerous classes in the Caribbean, Europe and the United States.

Mr. Ternes holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University. He resides with his wife, Pat, southwest of Boston. His New England base coupled with overseas travel provides venues of infinite plein-air painting opportunities.
