Terry Kettenhofen, fine art broker and artist representative, can best be described as a modern Renaissance man. An outstandingly versatile, well-rounded person, Terry has performed skillfully in many different fields while continually nurturing his thirst for knowledge and new experiences. As a passionate art enthusiast, he has been a collector and gallery owner of various fine art collections for over 25 years in Hawaii, Colorado, California, Texas, and (most recently) Arizona.

Terry's portfolio features the artistry of more than 100 world-class artists that range from classical styles to more modern and experimental offerings. His vast personal collection is avant garde; it showcases his love for color and whimsy as well as his passion for all styles and mediums of art. He is particularly fond of acrylics and photography.

Born and raised in San Diego, California, Terry attended the University of San Diego where he majored in economics. After graduating he traveled the world and discovered his love of art when he was introduced to the beauty of blown glass. The rest is history, as they say, and in December of 1981 he moved to Hawaii and opened his first gallery in Maui, marking the beginning of his art career. Once he started collecting, Terry found he deeply enjoyed keeping an eye out for new artists whose work he could share with collectors everywhere. From the practiced to the sophomoric connoisseur, anyone who appreciates the beauty of fine art can find a piece they'll love within his library offerings. At present, Terry represents many artists from around the world, including a plethora of artists local to Northern Arizona.

“[The Dream Merchant] inventory is extensive and varied and sure to please any taste. I especially love to introduce folks to the beauty available to them through the world of fine art." - Terry Kettenhofen

When not pursuing his passion for art, Terry enjoys surfing, water skiing, music and reading.
