Myfanwy Pavelic‘s portraits and paintings document succeeding generations of artists, musicians, composers and statesmen, from Yehudi Menuhin to Pierre Trudeau. Her work has been exhibited from Victoria to the National Gallery in London, England; and her philanthropy helped many people and organizations in Victoria and beyond.

Among the beneficiaries were the Victoria Symphony, the University of Victoria, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Sooke Fine Arts Organization, Sanscha Hall in Sidney and the Metchosin Summer School of the Arts.
