Hi everyone!

I have recently returned from a trip to China!
The 12 Day Middle Kingdom tour was a revelation and opened my eyes to that which humankind is capable.
The Qin Dynasty Terra Cotta Army took my breath away!

Yes, this was an ego gone berserk, but that 2200 years ago this creative genius existed to produce one of the wonders of the world.

The Gallery is open by appointment

China Tour

To share this experience with our sons Trevor and Troy made it even more special!

Here is a glimpse of the journey through the creative sensitive photography of our younger son Troy Schaddelee. See his photos of the journey.

What a wonderful experience for Nadina and others to share the journey from the perspective of Maarten and our sons.

Maarten Schaddelee, Sculptor
Maarnada Studios Gallery & Sculpture Garden

Internationally acclaimed sculptor Maarten Schaddelee has focused on the beauty of the natural world as a theme for a variety of sculptures.

This has led to glorious expressions of whales, birds, dolphins, as well as complex relationships and metaphors pertinent to humanity's links with nature.

Peace and harmony are strong recurring themes in Schaddelee's expression.  His work has been chosen to recognize people and places in Canada and abroad.

From tiny hand held touchstones to large public and private installations, Maarten's sculptures engage the viewer's senses. 

Visit Maarten's "Maarnada" Gallery, located in Beautiful Victoria, BC on enchantingly beautiful Vancouver Island.
