Jamie Kay MacKenzie is a New York based artist known for her ethereal paintings. In her figurative work, she's interested in exploring the emotional and spiritual lives of her subjects, and forging a psychical connection to their past. Each piece serves as a kind of vessel for shared memories and experiences between people, combining the poignantly personal with an inclusive universality. She was born in North Carolina, raised in Maine and Maryland. She has studied fine art at the Carver Center for Arts & Technology, the Maryland Institute College of Art, and at the New School. Jamie worked professionally as a studio manager for the painter Philip Pearlstein, and worked closely with sculptor Bernar Venet and Designer/Architect Emanuela Frattini Magnusson. She currently lives and paints somewhere over the rainbow.
