Who are We?

  TuGBoaT Studio Art

      TuGBoaT started in the mid seventies when I was working on creative projects and I still use it today. It is how I  label my work with a small trademark of a tugboat.  Move to the present when and where I was creating a web based avenues to showcase my work I was wanting to use Tugboat again in a domain but to my disappointment it had already been adopted.  However I came upon TGBT as an alternative for what I was wanting.  So  think TuGBoaT, where the vowels are so small you just can't see them.

The Artist

      My name is Terry Morris and TuGBoaT Studio Art is  where I do my artistry. My focus   is  with watercolours.  It is a very  interesting medium as it has

numerous  technique and behaviours which I enjoy.  I started  in my youth drawing as a leisure activity with tutoring from my grandmother, whom was an accomplished watercolour and oil painter.  It was in the late eighties that I picked up a paint brush and found  success with watercolour. Since then I have dabbled away learning more about the medium.  In the past few years with retirement I have become more committed to watercolour.  At first I read books on the subject. To further development I have had instruction from Frans Aeyelts, and Tom Ward both of whom are outstanding watercolour artists. At the same time I have taken on-line courses with Art Summit, and Abyssimo.

I am now a member of The Visual Artists of Nova Scotia. Where you can also see some of my works displayed on their website. In the Fall of 2025 I was juried in as an Exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artist. Visit their website to find my work on display.

 

The Internet, and  Physical Locations 

    This on line store is one  ways to share the artwork that I have created. I am also found on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. From May to October various works are shown in the Lunenburg Art Galley. More recently I have been given the opportunity to hang my works in the "Naked Oyster" and "Rebeca's" restaurants in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia 

 

Summary

   I enjoy painting and seeing the end result as there  always seems to be surprises.  No two paintings are the same.   I live in a beautiful and historic area of Canada. I  enjoy travel, being active and outdoors. From these activities I draw inspiration.   So in this store you have the opportunity to view, enjoy, experience, and/or  purchase  original watercolour  works of art which portray some of that beauty or uniqueness.

    Feel free to drop me a message to let me know what you think of my creations.
