We found it hard choosing just twelve best contemporary landscape paintings by Terrill Welch for this past year. We eventually succumbed to a choice of fourteen from the thirty paintings completed and released 2025. Here is the chosen collection, in no particular order shown to scale in a digital gallery room view. 

This self-directed reparative artist’s journey with the Salish Sea at the tideline has been the foundation of Terrill Welch’s theory and research development towards a MA in Fine Art that she will complete at the end of July 2026. These paintings are the ones she has chosen to best represent her painting journey during 2025. Her theoretical studies and research methods for exploring, taking risks and examining the Seafloor at the tideline of what is now called Mayne Island continue to unravel and make visible why she paints what she does in the way that she does. We hope this is helpful to your viewing of this work and understanding why she is excited about sharing it with you. 

For this year’s best paintings we are also providing a YouTube video summary narrated by Terrill to provide contextual background about her creative process along with these paintings at:

In addition, here is a link to a private viewing room for further detailed exploration and enjoyment! In this viewing room each painting has artist notes that will tell you more about the work at:

And Happy New Year and all the best of 2026!

Sincerely,

The Terrill Welch Gallery Team
