Terrill Welch Gallery Spotlight on artist Jody Waldie

September 25, 2022November 21, 2022 / Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Jody Waldie has a wide range of subjects rendered mostly in oils on her canvases. There is something about standing in front of one of her works that tells you that each brushstroke has been thoughtfully considered and then applied freely without constraint. I have had the pleasure of seeing her develop an artwork from sketches, colour studies and underpaintings with each stage resolving additional painting challenges that all painters must face if they want to keep developing their work.

A viewer can witness the strong bones in a finished painting of her drawing skills that underly her vision for a piece. We are fortunate to currently have three of her paintings showing between the two Terrill Welch Gallery spaces.

ISLAND TIME ART is showing “Autumn Bouquet” and

“Strawberry in Sunshine”

in the physical art room and online HERE until October 17, 2022.

In addition, the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod has the pleasure of hosting the guest painting “Winter Walk on Glen Echo Trail” by Jody Waldie in the physical gallery and online HERE until October 3, 2022.

Also, Jody Waldie has a feature interview by Cherie Thiessen in the September/October 2022, vol 17, issue 5, of the AQUA GULF ISLANDS LIVING magazine on pages 20-21 if you wish to learn more about the life of this Mayne Island artist.

We invite you to enjoy these paintings in person or in our online gallery as much as we do and possibly consider adding one to your art collection.

Our gallery program brings extraordinary connections to ordinary moments in our natural landscape. Our artists encourage you to see with more than your eyes. 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 (once non-essential travel is again recommended). 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.
