Artist

Jean McKenzie

Jean Carmichael McKenzie is an artist, poet and race horse owner whose family goes way back in Strathcona’s history.  She is also a retired school teacher (she taught for 33 years) and was vice-principal of King Edward Elementary School.  She studied art at the University of Alberta, Banff, Red Deer College, Sutton Art School, and Montaigut, France.  She enjoys celebrating the feeling of life forces and forms with metal and with pigment on paper or canvas.  She hopes the viewer can share some of this joy.
