FRONT COVER -- Spearfish, S.D., artist Dick Termes earned an M.A. in
art from UW in 1969. For more than 30 years, he has eschewed
traditional flat canvases to create his art on polycarbonate globes
he calls "Termespheres." Termes estimates he has painted more than
200 major spheres so far - about a third of those by commission -
and his work is displayed internationally, from North Pole High
School in Alaska to the Tokyo Museum in Japan. "Being an artist can
be difficult," he says. "You have to love creating ideas more than
anything else, or you won't stay with it. It really isn't the field
to go into if you want money. It is, however, the field to go into
if you want to feel like you've done something with your life and if
you have ideas you want to share with the world." Photo by Ted Brummond |
