Hello,
I'm Mackenzie, or as others also know me, Mack. I am an artist, designer and color enthusiast. Everyday, I am thankful for finding a profession that is fun and fulfilling. This passion began long ago, when my parents and teachers nurtured something that I had shown a love for. When I was little, I often had to take projects home from school because I would get so lost in the fun and details of it all, that I rarely finished before the bell rang. After leaving college and venturing out into the working world, I aspired to work in a place where I felt challenged to think and solve problems creatively. And today, I get to do that in my very own studio!
I absolutely love working for myself, and have loved finding a balance between my time in front of the canvas and the computer. Most recently, I worked on painting a series of California-inspired pieces, and successfully finished a watercolor commission of a beautiful old barn that held a lifetime of memories for the client. (See more here.) My most recent graphic design project was for a client who needed to create an iPad app that worked as an evaluation tool for teachers working and observing in the classroom. Quite the range of projects, keeping me busy and entertained!
Outside of work, there are many things that keep me occupied and inspired. First and foremost, my husband and I have welcomed a little girl to our family, so we find ourselves consumed with all things "baby" these days. I also love seeing all corners of the world, along with more local road trips up and down the West Coast. I haven't met an art museum I didn't like. And, as for books, I will admit that I read more blogs and Instagram posts than anything else these days.
Happy browsing!
