Mackenzie Quick is a dreamscape painter from Milford, New Jersey. She currently resides in South Philly, Pennsylvania and works as a barista by day at a café in the Italian Market. One of her biggest inspirations as an artist is the supportive community she has found through her customers and coworkers.

Mackenzie’s art romanticizes her everyday encounters with nature, merging them with hazy memories, quiet self reflections, and liminal dreams. Most paintings start with a bright pink underpainting to let warmth and life radiate throughout the final pieces.

She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2020 with a BFA in illustration and has been painting for 10 years.
