We wish each and every one of you all the very best of the holidays as we hold space for peace and, as always, do what we can.

Last evening my husband, David, and I went to see the lights at our Mayne Island Japanese Memorial Garden. I thought I would share a few memory images with you as my way of adding a little magic to your holidays. This garden has been designed and is maintained and continually developed by volunteers supported through donations. I love coming here any time of year but particularly when the lights are up during the winter holidays.

I find the child in me waking up with wonder in her heart. ❤️

So much care has been taken to enhance the natural beauty of this garden during these sparkly evenings.

The newly painted red bridge couldn’t possibly look any better. Thank you to everyone who is involved in making this special Mayne Island experience happen! Amazing! 

If you happen to be on Mayne Island between now and January 1st, it is worth taking a walk through our magical Mayne Island Japanese Memorial Garden. Open nightly by donation (weather permitting) between 5-7 pm.

Wherever you are, no matter how challenging times may be, I hope you can find a tiny glimpse of magic in an ordinary day.

With warmth and kindness as always,

Terrill 👩‍🎨🎨❤️

P.s. There are new paintings released in the online gallery with more coming in the New Year. The Terrill Welch Gallery Pod show at 428 Luff Rd on Mayne Island is open daily from 11-4 for walk in self-browsing except for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. I have been update our website and the online gallery can now be found by clicking in the HOME page or the online gallery tab. Two options! Enjoy!
