Terence Dalton, 60, is currently in a residential program in a private clinic. He has been painting since 1971. His work is influenced by Picasso, and ancient American civilizations such as Anasazi, Aztec, Mayan, and Inca.

Mr. Dalton quotes Dylan Thomas, Aldus Huxley and says the doors of perception opened slowly for him. He says," At first, the doors in my mind opened a little and then shut again."

He says now the door to his inner life has been "open all the time for 20 years." 

Terence Dalton 10/07 

The self portrait above his head is titled "Southern Mystic".

Mr. Dalton says he has now been in the south long enough to claim that.
