Terrence Murray Dalton

[b.1965, South Lake Tahoe, California]

Terrence Dalton is a California-based painter whose work reflects a lifelong connection to the state’s diverse landscapes. Mr. Dalton explores the emotional and atmospheric qualities of place through a series titled "Views from the Journey". His oil and watercolor paintings distill the land into simplified forms and luminous color fields, capturing moments of quiet reflection and movement across California’s coastlines, valleys, and open skies.

​

While his oil paintings offer contemplative space and depth, his watercolors introduce a more spontaneous, expressive energy—both united by a meditative sensitivity to light, memory, and terrain. Rooted in personal experience, Mr. Dalton’s work invites the viewer into landscapes that feel both expansive and intimate—seen not only with the eye, but felt deeply through presence and time.
