Visual ruminations, working vacations.

Holly Fay's artistic practice considers the relationships and interconnectedness of natural phenomena by conceptualizing ecological systems, phenomenology and the lived environment, and more-than-human knowledge through drawing, painting and installation. Shown nationally and internationally, Fay's work has received federal and provincial grants, and is represented in public and private collections. Fay lives and works in Regina SK, located on Treaty 4 lands, situated on the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anishnapek, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. Living in the distinctive Prairie Ecozone, one of the most altered of the ecozones in Canada, informs Fay's art practice. Sky, water, earth, light, climate, biotic systems, and the unseen are recurring subjects in her work. Fay teaches painting and drawing in the Faculty of Media, Art and Performance at the University of Regina.
