Mackenzie first got her start in art by taking studio art lessons at the age of twelve. That quickly led to commissions alongside the development of her portfolio. 

At the age of seventeen Mackenzie attended the Art Institute of Chicago’s summer program, and a journey of developing her artistic voice through education began. For her undergraduate degree she decided to attend the University of Cincinnati to receive her BFA from the D.A.A.P. program. 

Her artistic practice was continually enriched by her jobs and internships while at school. Developing her skills in a range of disciplines, from art therapy, art business, marketing, luxury fashion, collection management, cinematic production, and art historical research. Mackenzie has been honored to be an ambassador for these opportunities made possible by DAAP’s Co-op program. These experiences have furthered her art making skills and her presence in the art community. 

Most recently Mackenzie has been focused on combining the different outlets of her creative expression while working as an Art Appraiser in New York City.
