Jennifer MacKenzie

Jennifer MacKenzie is originally from Coatbridge in Lanarkshire, and now lives and works in Golspie, Sutherland.  She studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1967- 71, graduating DA (Drawing and Painting).   Following art school she pursued a career in teaching art and design in Lanarkshire, Inverness and Sutherland.  Jennifer took early retirement from teaching in 2001 and now concentrates full-time on painting in her studio in Golspie. 

“My paintings are very much a personal response to my environment, in terms of  colour, light and space, and  in the Scottish tradition.  I enjoy exploring colour and the tactile qualities of oil paint, mainly through still life, but also in landscape and figurative works.”
