Landon Mackenzie is a Vancouver-based artist, admired for her large-scale works with paint on canvas. Less well-known are her works on paper, many in ink and watercolour, which she produces in large volumes as a tandem practice to her larger paintings, often while travelling. Somewhere between jottings and finished works intended for public exhibition, these small paintings speak to the deepest level of human creativity. They function as glimpses into Landon Mackenzie's psyche at different moments in time.
