About

Sharon McKenzie is a contemporary artist living and working in Ipswich Qld.  Having grown up in close proximity to a National Park she developed a love of the environment.  Her fascination with scientific illustration led her to undertake a degree in Illustration at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University with further postgraduate studies in painting and museums.  She has since worked with scientific collections to create works with an environmental focus that express a sense of the relationship between humans and the environment with a special attention on vanishing species. Sharon has participated in numerous solo and group shows and has been selected for several curated shows in public and private galleries and art prizes.  She has work held in public and private collections across Australia.
