The Artist

Carol Wade works in acrylic and oil on canvas, with giclee prints available alongside the originals. Her 14 works at JG span a significant range — the inventory is among the gallery's broadest by price, and the scale of work reflects a painter working at full ambition across a sustained practice. Her Pacific Northwest subjects — landscape, light, the relationship between water and sky that defines the region — are approached through both media without favoring one over the other.

The giclee prints in the collection offer collectors who cannot acquire an original painting access to the same image at a lower investment. This is not a compromise — the giclee print of a painting captures the color relationships and compositional intelligence of the original at a resolution that holds up to close examination.

The Work

The acrylic paintings in the JG inventory work quickly — acrylic dries fast, allowing for rapid decision and layer-building in a single session. The oil paintings work more slowly, the extended drying time permitting revision and the development of the glazed passages that give oil painting its characteristic depth. Wade uses both qualities deliberately rather than defaulting to one.

Fourteen works is a substantial inventory that gives the collector a full picture of the practice. From the most accessible prints through to the major original canvases, the range demonstrates a consistent formal intelligence operating at different scales and in different media. The quality is consistent across the range.
