Welcome to the studio where nature and heart intertwine with you - and where we create your personal artifact together. Whether I am creating in my studio in Texas, backpacking in the mountains, or absorbing inspiration and stories from the Mediterranean, the mission remains the same: sustainable, heartfelt artistry that transforms artworks to artifacts.
Once you’ve looked through my process and pricing guide, we’ll schedule a time to dive into what moves your heart and what story you want your artwork to hold. From talking about what brings you joy and your cherished moments to the colors you’re drawn to and the feeling you want to your artwork to hold. I’ll then translate our conversation to a visual map of what your painting will look like. Through collaborative conversations we refine visuals and details until we’ve found the perfect storyboard to bring to life.
After we explore the matters of the heart, the artistry of the artist begins — and I start creating. My process starts by reimagining forgotten matter and intertwining it with a structural framework that’s milled in house. As your piece starts to form, my signature texture builds giving the painting its foundation. Once the foundation is complete, your story comes to life through intuitive brushstrokes and earth derived paints.
As the artist, I am the vessel - and creating a personal artifact that you feel seen through is my top priority. While my painting process is private, once the work is complete in my eyes, I will send photos of the work for your approval. We work through this process until you are entirely in love with the painting.
The cornerstone of each piece is always, always the earth that we live in — whether it’s reimagined forgotten matter, recycled natural fibers or earth-made pigments.
Every single part and piece of my art process — and yours — is laid upon a groundwork of genuine appreciation for the ground under our feet and the air in our lungs. When you purchase from and design with me, we’ll soak up that appreciation… together.
My name is Mackenzie Wright, and I’m the artist and vessel behind these personal artifacts. Though most of my creating unfolds in a sun-drenched studio just outside of Austin, TX, I gather inspiration from all around me — still mornings filled with poetry and barefoot walks through my garden or golden-hour aperitivos and sailing around the Greek islands. My journey with the arts began as a form of personal therapy and, over time, I came to realize that the art I make can be just as healing for my clients as it is for me — and I can’t wait to meet you.
