Bringing Extraordinary Connections to Ordinary Moments

The Terrill Welch Gallery’s new Gallery Pod will be opening at 428 Luff Rd on Mayne Island in British Columbia. Until it becomes available in July 2022, walk-in viewing is possible 10-4 at Terrill’s home studio in this location BY APPOINTMENT. You can also visit our online gallery 24/7 at: https://terrillwelchartist.com

Our gallery program b

rings extraordinary connections to ordinary moments in our natural landscape. These artworks invite you to feel as if you are there, nature and humanity thriving in partnership. The Terrill Welch Gallery opened in August 2017 on a serene island off the southwest coast of Canada. Our Mayne Island art gallery is a day excursion by ferry from either Vancouver or Victoria, British Columbia. Since opening, the gallery has more than doubled its physical gallery exhibition space and online reach. Our gallery founder, Terrill Welch, has been bringing art collectors and landscape paintings together for over 30 years. Please feel free to message us if you have any question or would like to inquire about a specific landscape painting by one of our artists.

Today was partly spent shifting and moving paintings in the gallery. Returning gallery visitors showed up mid transition. What is one to do? We adjusted things in such a way that everything could be seen and made sure there were no tripping hazards. Then in they came! 😊

We always enjoy welcoming gallery visitors and answering their many questions about the work. The more questions they ask, the more we sense that they are seriously wanting to get to know the painting or paintings.

Top left is Terrill Welch’s oil painting ‘Holdfast Released’ that has just been completed with ‘Shifting Shapes in the Tides’ leaning on a wooden chair in front and then a sliver of ‘We Think We Know’ showing on the right of the gallery wall. These three ‘Terrill Welch paintings’ are new works in her Seafloor series. It is a delight to see them like this, haphazardly in conversation together.

We invite those that have been traveling with Terrill Welch during her research and painting practice over the past two years to share your thoughts as well. Here are hers on this fine Saturday morning as she counts the number of weeks until completing her MA Fine Art degree…

‘In a working corner of my practice, three paintings cluster together. The top left is recently finished and the top right is from near the beginning of the seafloor series which now numbers 45 paintings, completed during the past two years. I look at the similarities between these two paintings and then think about how much my understanding and thinking has shifted through my theory application and practice-led research while my painting’s fingerprints remain constant and visible. I have moved closer to the seafloor both physically, intellectually and emotionally during this period of study. Yet, the first blush of intrigue holds over time. My southwest coast of Canada interpretation of shape, colour, texture and rhythm of the seafloor has a definable language in my first viewer’s experience of the work. However, when I stand in front of the easel today, I have a much clearer understanding of my specific historical reference in this reparative nature-centric painting practice. This is enough. More than enough for today.’ ~ Terrill Welch

Gratitude and congratulations to our happy art collector who has added one of a very few east coast “Terrill Welch paintings” to their collection! This 24 x 30 inch oil on wood of Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island was completed in 2016 and has been on the art collector’s wish list for a long time. They finally made it happen! Timing is everything. Patience and persistence has paid off.

Fresh off the early summer easel…

‘Low Tide Qualicum Beach’ by Terrill Welch 10 x 8 inch acrylic on canvas board. Plein air, completed Wednesday, 13 May 2026.

Artist notes: From evening to morning, I stand with a low tide, visiting and revisiting grey skies and an sea edged with seaweed green, frequently punctuated by breaking light, wrapping around warm coloured stones, resting on the sand and pebbles. The sea only ask that I be present for as long as it takes.

Sold! Congratulations to our art collectors! The original painting ‘Springwater in Morning Fog’ by Terrill Welch, 20 x 36 inch walnut oil on canvas, has found its perfect home. We couldn’t be more pleased as we know it will be deeply appreciated and treasured.

Artist notes: The November morning holds promise as the fog drifts low on Active Pass and swirls below a bright blue sky punctuated by wispy clouds in Miners Bay. The Springwater Lodge flanks the shore with aging superiority. I pause and wait, for something, anything really, to break the spell.
