Terri Connelly

I am a Canadian painter that interprets my observations of the human connection with each other, nature, and wildlife to tell a story. I look for opportunities to stop, pause and reflect on what part do we play in stewardship for positive joyful experiences. My methods of applying layers of paint with brush or other tools onto canvas or cradle board utilizing bold brush strokes, mark making, mixed media and medium to create atmosphere, depth, movement and emotion.

Sometimes life can get out of control and be unpredictable. Something we can do to stay in the present and bring joy is dance and or kick a ball. It does not take a lot, just some feet and your spirit. Inspired by my love of dance and the excitement of the FIFA World CUP having games played in Canada I put together a collection that show cases some dances that influenced culture, music and fashion along with some FIFA World Cup final match balls that helped define the exciting sport around the world. Both practices bring our beautiful world together.
