About Audrey, excerpt from “Mapping the Landscape of the Soul” by Rosemary
Ponnekanti

"The New Jersey native has spent the last 15 years living and exhibiting in
three countries, folding those places into her densely layered acrylics.
Since August 2016, however, she’s called Tacoma home.

“My artwork is a map of my lived experience every day—a specific
conversation, a relationship,” says Welch.

For Welch, who has paintings in collections around the globe and is now
represented by Nancy Toomey Fine Art in San Francisco, it’s been a long and
colorful journey moving from East to West Coast—a journey that has played
out in her art.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Delaware and a Master
of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Boston, Welch spent the last 15
years in Indonesia, Thailand, and Australia—five years in each place.

All of that comes into Welch’s paint layers. In her light-filled studio
high up in Tacoma’s vintage Merlino Building, Welch works on a canvas for
months. “I’m grounded in the heritage of abstract expressionism, of the
intuitive gesture,” says Welch, a petite woman with curly red hair,
freckles and an intriguing accent that mixes Aussie with clipped New
Jersey. “But I want to juxtapose that with something very intentional, the
map line. It’s a structure with the freedom to respond to my materials. And
my whole body is involved in the gesture, not just my wrist.”
