Terry Tripp currently resides in Southern California where he makes art freely and teaches high school art. He is also an active creative writer.

Tripp graduated from California State University, Bakersfield with a BA in English and a BA in psychology and earned an MA in education from Point Loma Nazarene University and an MFA in visual art from Azusa Pacific University. He earned his doctorate in worship studies at Liberty University.

Although Tripp creates large paintings that are mostly exhibited in the Los Angeles area, he also creates smaller works of art that can be purchased online, so everyone can be a collector of original art and own a “trippy” painting.
