To reside in our home, pieces of fine art must connect with us in an intimate and personal way. Knowing that any piece that is chosen will occupy a space in our home for many years necessitates a careful consideration of the lasting impact the piece will contribute to our lives.

Chenier Fine Arts as developed by owner Debra Chenier honours the importance of a purchase of fine art by creating an intimate and relaxed environment that surrounds each guest with a fabulous variety of works in a wide variety of media. Debra’s passion for fine art will embrace you the instant you engage her in conversation. With her in-depth knowledge of Canadian and International artists Debra supports clients in their search for the perfect piece, whether in the gallery collection, or through the extensive contacts Debra has developed in the arts community over the years.

We believe that Chenier Fine Arts is the premier gallery in Thunder Bay and is a must visit for anyone looking to view and to purchase fine art.

The arts play a very important role in the quality of life in our community. To keep the community vibrant, artists need a venue in which to exhibit and sell their work and community members an opportunity to interact with the work and hopefully to purchase.

“Chenier Fine Arts” is a new venue in the City with its owner, Debra Chenier coming from a long and respected line of gallery owners. Her parents once ran a business in the South ward known as “The Gallery of Fine Arts”. It is here that I bought my first piece of art – a significant moment in my lifetime. Over the years the Gallery became a favourite place to visit and Mrs. Chenier an admired friend.

It is moving to see her daughter follow in her footsteps. I know that her family experience, personal commitment, and training will bring the same pleasure to new generations of art buyers as her mother’s store once brought to me.

I wish Deb every success as she moves forward in her new business.

Debra Chenier's amiable approach takes all the intimidation out of the art purchasing process.
