Mackenzie is a Canadian artist who grew up in the small Northern Ontario town of North Bay. She went on to do a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours from Queen’s University and continued her studies by completing a Masters in Fine Arts at the American College of the Mediterranean in the South of France. While falling in love with European painting she went home to Canada and worked as an art teacher for students with learning disabilities in Toronto for the past 3 years. However, her true passion remains creating work and Mackenzie is now pursuing her art practice full time in London.
