Kate is a New Zealand artist from Hawkes Bay and has been painting since 1999. Her work is held in private collections throughout New Zealand, Europe, Australia and America.
Her recent collection of oil on plywood is inspired by Aotearoa, which illustrates the strength and fragility of the people and buildings etched into its history. Kate likes to explore the fine line between reality and surrealism, with subtle reference to political, environmental and social issues. Her work explores the connection between where we have been and where we are going. 
 
Kate MacKenzie became the Supreme World Of Wearable Arts Award Winner in 2014 with her entry design “Poly Nation”.  In 2013 she entered for the first time and came 3rd in the Open section with “Hay Daysie”.

In Recent years Kate's work has been selected for The New Zealand Adam Portraiture Awards, Hawkes Bay Review and EAST Exhibition
