About the artist |
McKenzie West (b. 1996) is a Boston-based artist. She attended Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut and graduated with a BFA in painting in the spring of 2018. She was awarded the Wardlaw Prize for Excellence in Painting in 2018.
West works in her studio at Western Avenue Studios and Lofts in Lowell, MA. She experiences the world through heightened attention to the nuances of human emotion, human-to-object relationships, and human-to-nature relationships. From these lenses she examines themes of vulnerability and innocence, and the convergence of the intimate inner world with the realities of existence.
This work is from the artist’s series “Summer on the Cliffs” which explores the artist’s imaginary wanderings along the New England coast and the objects, settings, and moments that captivate her.
