After moving to Montreal in the 1860s, he became a key figure in the Canadian art scene, known for his large watercolors inspired by Turner and his collaborations with the Notman studio. Way’s works, often depicting Canadian landscapes, were exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy, the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, and the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
He was a founding member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and painted for the Canadian Pacific Railway, capturing iconic scenes from the Atlantic to the Rockies. Way's art is celebrated for its composition and mastery of tone, leaving a lasting influence on Canadian art.
