If you are passionate about contemporary landscape painting, Terrill is an artist you will want to follow and consider adding to your art collection. The spirited southwest coast of Canada moves with rhythmic power and ease under Terrill Welch’s brushstrokes. There is a sensory intimacy between the painter and the southwest coast’s unique trees, sandstone shores, open ocean beaches and historic landmarks. Viewers of Terrill’s oil and acrylic contemporary landscape paintings feel as if they know these places, even if they have only visited through her paintings.

Inspired by Edith Point Conservation Area on Mayne Island

23 Artworks

View
This 35 hectares of seaside trails has long been enjoyed by local Mayne Island residents at the welcome of the Graves family who have stewarded the lands since the 1990’s. Now, with the hard work of many including the Graves family, the Mayne Island Conservancy and the National Conservancy of Canada this delicate ecosystem in Coast Salish territory will be preserved. Edith Point has inspired many paintings over the years but most often the specific location was not shared due to it being private land where I had special access as a Mayne Island community member. Now, with its new conservation status, it feels right to share these paintings as a body of work. Learn more on the Nature Conservancy Canada website.

Inspired by Saint John Point Park Reserve on Mayne Island

24 Artworks

View
As a landscape painter I have places that I revisit over time finding something new to brush onto a canvas for board. One of these places is the Saint John Point Park Reserve. These paintings range from 2018 up until today. I hope you enjoy the variety and exploration of this unique ecosystem located within Coast Salish Territory. Thanks and recognition to the Mayne Island Conservancy and the family who owned this property for working so hard towards its park status. Learn more about this 26 hectare waterfront park reserve that was established in 2017 on the Capital Regional District website.

Red Line Series

12 Artworks

View
The Red Line Series began in 2021 as a way of being personably accountable for noticing the impacts on our environment while holding the tension between the grandness and beauty during the destruction of our landscape. Sea levels rise, damage from storm surges increase, wild fire smoke gives us deep orange moonrises, glaciers in the mountains melt endangering our freshwater supply and we are running out of suitable sand to make cement as we mine the landscape relentlessly for its resources. I could paint stunning landscapes for the next twenty years. But, in a way, they would be a lie, denying the pain and lump in my throat as I walk amongst the trees. Right now, painting only such paintings of bliss seem irresponsible, an unacceptable personal denial. So I went to work to find a more honest way to render my experiences.

Seafloor series

47 Artworks

View
In this intimate close up landscape series of the seafloor (or sea floor), I research my subject by sitting and observing on location at our island beaches and gathering photographic references and video to later use in the studio. For this series I am applying the perspectives of ‘landscape of the small’ and ‘a child’s view’ in my paintings. The paintings are completed in various sizes using elements from several images, videos, my memory and a few plein air studies. In this reparative, nature-centric, autoethnographic painting practice-led research, my intention for these paintings is to continue to find ways to enhance my sense of inner peace through nature. This series aims to connect us with nature's quiet yet profound rhythms, offering a visual meditation on the resilience and grace found within the sea and along its shores.
