McKenzie was born in Los Angeles, California. She attended UCLA on a full scholastic and Fine Art scholarship. There she gained a visual vocabulary of form and color in nature. She credits her professors for influencing her strong use of color and her energetic approach to compositional dynamism. McKenzie continues to build on her knowledge of color theory. Her vibrant hues in her latest paintings create an optical vibration in the eye. The added surface textures enrich her boldly painted canvases. McKenzie's study in luminosity and iridescence is visible in these highly evocative compositions. Her themes are diverse. She searches landscape, cityscape and abstract design for structure and movement in her compositions. She has developed a lively approach to painting in the form of brightly hued and textured paintings. She derives inspiration by observing shapes, contrasts of color temperatures, the play of light against dark on shapes, and the endless variety of nature's elemental forces. McKenzie uses a palette rich with saturated colors that gives her abstract paintings an air of excitement, depth, and mystery. "I draw my inspiration from the changing patterns and environments in which I surround myself. Using nature and pure emotion as points of departure, I create forms and shapes- colors and hues- to convey energy and movement. The strokes, layers, colors and rhythms become the theme. I strive for new ways to represent my physical and spiritual sensations in paint. Vibrant and intense color is integral to my compositions. The images are put together in a harmonious sequence to reconstruct the reality of a spectacular world. Energy is the underlying theme of my work." "I strive to paint with honesty those things which move me.”
