Our Team

Caitlin is an artist and arts administrator of mixed European background living and working on Treaty Four Territory. She holds a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Regina and is one of the co-founders of Articulate Ink Press, Saskatchewan’s first artist-run printmaking centre (ext. 2011). She has held multiple positions at the MacKenzie since joining the team in 2012 and maintains an active studio practice that includes painting, creating site-specific installations for events, screenprinting and performance. Her work has been exhibited in group shows and festivals across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, including the Art Gallery of Regina, the Estevan Art Gallery and the Sherwood Branch of the Dunlop Art Gallery.

Brittany Yang has been at the MacKenzie Art Gallery for almost 10 years, and finds the most inspiring part of her job is creating a lasting impact in our community.

Her personal life motto is “Kale in one hand, champagne in the other”, and the best piece of advice she’s ever been given is that the answer is always no, until you ask.

May Ngui has come from a diverse background in Sales & Marketing, and has past experiences working in other museums and galleries, including the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the Cumberland Art Gallery located at the Saskatchewan Legislature Building.

May enjoys arts and music, supporting charitable organizations, and party planning and hosting…  But what she loves the most is baking assortments of desserts and pastries in her spare time, and has even had her recipes published in a recipe cookbook.

May’s philosophy, “When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” —  Paulo Coelho

She looks forward to seeing you at the MacKenzie!

Nicolle Nugent values community and art education as the foundation for her professional and creative practice. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts (1999) and Bachelor of Education (2001) from the University of Calgary. After working in Regina Public, Catholic and rural school divisions, Nicolle began working at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in education, where she is currently developing exhibitions and programming for a wide variety of audiences as Curator of Education. Nicolle has participated in many professional development opportunities including Making Museums Matter, Cultural Resource Management Program taught by Stephen E. Weil (University of Victoria), as well as several National Art Education Association (NAEA), Canadian Art Gallery Educators (CAGE), engage (United Kingdom), American Alliance of Museums, Art Museum Educators Consortium, and Canadian Museums Association workshops and conferences. She has presented at engage International Summer School (2006) in Portugal and has also been an active member of the Canadian Art Gallery Educators executive since 2009, occupying Senior Chair, Past Chair, and Case Study positions. Nicolle’s passion for creativity also includes an active writing practice and an addiction to making natural apothecary. She lives with her husband and two daughters just outside of Lumsden, Saskatchewan.

Ken Duczek started working for the MacKenzie in the fall of 1988. Through much of this time he delivered the Provincial Touring Program making over 800 community visits, delivering approximately 8300 tours to over 320000 people. Sharing art and creativity inspires him in new program opportunities at the MacKenzie.

His bucket list lottery dreams include travelling to Europe visiting cathedrals and walking by virtually any ocean in a warm location, but he’d gladly spend more time with Wendy and their family, walking their happy pup Ginger and photographing all. His life as a movie title would be “Count it all Joy.”

Hi, I’m Fiorella Stephanie Villagaray Pacheco from Peru, South America. After starting in Political Science, I found my calling in fine arts during a class with a Peruvian art critic, Silvio de Ferrari. I shifted to pursue Art & Design at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. During my studies, I helped run the Student Center of Art & Design for over two years, fostering connections and advocating for students’ rights. I then volunteered at the Peruvian Ministry of Culture , focusing on Colonial Painting restoration and Paleontology. Seeking diverse cultural experiences, I pursued a Business certification at the University of Regina in 2020. Then, during the pandemic, I became a Gallery Facilitator at MAG, aligning with my passion for community arts, engaging visitors in art discussions. As part of this new chapter in my life, I’m looking forward to supporting our community as a Program Assistant.
