McKenzie is know as "The Charity Artist" for good reason. Proceeds from the recent sale of "Sentient Manarola" were donated to the memorial fund for slain officer William Freeman. Officer William Freeman, a father of five, (36) was shot and killed when he and his partner responded to an automobile accident. Freeman's story moved McKenzie prompting her to make the charitable offer.
Artist McKenzie, has unveiled her newest painting exclusively at ParkMara Galleries in St. Augustine, Florida. "We are excited to be working with ParkMara Galleries" says manager Steve Rice. "Harbor at Lipari is an amazing painting and we are thrilled to be making it available as a limited edition giclee on canvas to the public through their gallery.
