Jennifer Mackenzie DA
Jennifer lives and works in Golspie, Sutherland but is originally from Coatbridge near Glasgow. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1971 and, after further teacher training, taught Art and Design in schools in Lanarkshire, Inverness and Sutherland. Since leaving teaching in 2001 she has been a full-time professional artist.
Her paintings are a personal response to her environment, in terms of colour, light and space, and reflect her time at Glasgow School of Art in the 1960s, when drawing skills were still considered an important element of the coursework and painting was in the Scottish Tradition of alla prima oil painting – part of the legacy of the Glasgow Boys and Scottish Colourists.
“Over the years I have developed my love of colour which is expressed mainly through the medium of oil paint, and largely in still life compositions. I also enjoy sketching outdoors and in the studio, as well as life drawing and other classes.”
“Still life is what I always come back to. Setting up a big still life is an important part of the process and something I enjoy. I work from life but I’m not looking at making an exact copy. I’m looking at the balance of shapes, colours, and tonal values within the group and sometimes I exaggerate perspective and enhance colour.”
