Professor Richard Terrell
The visual arts are as old as human history, and are fundamental to understanding humanity and the world. That fact is the rationale for the presence of a visual arts department in a liberal arts college. - Richard Terrell

Fields of Interest/Endeavor:
Richard Terrell, professor of art, has taught studio art and art history at Doane since 1970. Mr. Terrell is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University (BFA) and earned his MFA degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He maintains a studio in Lincoln, Nebraska. His works have been included in many regional and national competitive exhibitions and solo exhibitions. He focuses mainly in the media of oil painting and intaglio printmaking.
Of his work he states: "I enjoy helping students develop maturity and insight into their own work and the larger world of art, and encountering the same possibilities, problems, and solution-seeking as they do. I am primarily a landscape artist, but I also explore symbolism through abstract imagery as well."
