The virtually unknown artist Terrence Putz was born in London in September 1980 to parents Anthony Putz and Lauren Stiles both being American went to live in London in the 1970's. Both being avid art collectors, they had both encouraged Terrence's exploration into art.

Terrence grew up as an only child, he would keep himself entertained by sketching and painting whatever he could find and with his flair for the arts increasing as time went, he at the tender age of 6 he created his first sellable painting titled "troubled waters" (which his parents later named) in which he depicts a river by a landscape.

He was sent to boarding school at the age of 11. During that time he found that he was not allowed to paint as much as he had been doing at home. After such a startling realization he just 4 weeks into the school year rebelled by running away from said school later to be found in a nearby youth hostel “it wasn't fair art is what I loved to do and as soon as I realized I couldn't do it anymore, I had to do something about that, so I ran away”.

He later that day returned with the tail between his legs and continued at the boarding school until the age of 18, having to conform to it's routines and structure, which he found hard to do at the time.

At the age of 19 he took a long (two year) hiatus to travel, upon his travels he studied the cultures and traditions of the Chinese and Japanese people, which he was to later use in his art works.

He has worked with the likes of Roxane Marie Magon, Danielle Collins and many different artists on various projects such as the “Water color springs”, a triptych of water color paintings which included various waterfalls and the painting "Aim with love" which comprised of one oil painting depicting coloured swirls and vortex like shapes, to name a few.

His most recent artworks were snubbed by art critics as being too controversial to which he claimed was due to a lack of respect he had for the critics themselves “i don't care what they think of me, my works, never did, never will”.

He has never released his art works in to the public domain as he feared that someone might steal his ideas and inspirations for he once said that “as long as an artwork is out there for everyone to see there is a chance of it being stolen and reused for someone else's purposes and I don't want that”

He now currently presides with his wife Louise and daughter Mylo in Kyoto, Japan where he continues to paint and sell his artworks to private collectors.
