Fay St Marie’s solo exhibition “Artistic Journey” is showing at McMillan Arts Centre, 133 McMillan St., Parksville, BC until November 22, 2026. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 am- 3 pm.
“Artistic Journey”, fifty years of painting with half of those years painting fulltime, has taken Fay to explore many themes throughout her artistic career. Fay states that she is not a realist nor an abstract painter but something in between. Painting primarily in acrylics, she also incorporates various media and objects to create her art pieces.
This exhibition is composed of three themes that have been a major influence on her artistic journey. The Ukrainian series, Land/Water Series and Still Life/Floral Series.
Fay St Marie has lived on Vancouver Island since 2005 and works out of her backyard studio in Parksville, BC. She lived & worked in Saskatchewan and in Northern Alberta and NWT. St Marie has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Distinguished Exhibition from the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in painting. Fay has been painting since the 1970s but started full-time since leaving the nursing profession in the mid-1990s. She has had solo and group shows since the 1980s. Her paintings hang in private, corporate, Government of Saskatchewan, University of Saskatchewan, Ukrainian Museum of Canada, and the Ukrainian Canadian Art Foundation collections.
