Beginning with the 1977 release of “Winter Snows,” Redlin enthusiasts have collected more than 2 million art prints as well as collectibles and home decor products carrying his painted images of rural America.

“America’s rural past, in my eyes, was a wonderful place full of both beauty and opportunity. How fortunate I’ve been to spend my life creating memories of those distant times for others to enjoy,” said Redlin, 69, who plans to live at Watertown, home to the Terry Redlin Art Center.
