Abstract mixed-media artist Sara McKenzie transforms the rhythms of the natural world into layered visual experiences that exist somewhere between landscape, memory, and imagination. Working with acrylics, pastels, collage, texture, and an intuitive process of addition and removal, Ms. McKenzie creates paintings that do not attempt to reproduce nature literally. Instead, they evoke its energy—the lyrical beauty of flowers, the shifting ethereal light on organic growth, and the quiet tension between order and the unpredictability of nature.
