Marina Wright

Marina is an acrylic painter from Nanaimo, BC.

Marina’s favourite subjects involve places she has visited, especially those she has consistently returned to throughout her life – the local gulf islands and forests of Vancouver Island. Marina has a degree in biological sciences and is always interested to learn more about local ecology. She deeply appreciates the species and natural landscapes of her home and loves to feature them in her paintings.

Marina is an Active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists as of 2022.

Painting is a quiet passion for me. The potential to improve and explore more subject matter is a huge motivator.

I primarily paint landscapes with an emphasis on Vancouver Island, especially the Gulf Islands or forest scenes. I like to highlight natives plants in these settings. I currently work with acrylic paint but may venture into oils in the near future. I love to go outside, make a few sketches, take a few photos, and get started on canvas back in the studio!
