Mackenzie Jarvis was born in Brooklyn. Using watercolor as her primary medium, she typically creates in series rather than focusing on one single resolved piece. Each day becomes an opportunity to generate multiple works that speak to one another through color, gesture, and rhythm. While each painting can stand alone, together they form cohesive constellations of thought and feeling. Bold, colorful, abstract designs dominate her visual language, often unfolding through repeating shapes, balanced color, and playful yet intelligent composition. There is a quiet structural awareness beneath her spontaneity, so the work feels playful but never careless, and the speed of her process preserves a sense of momentum and honesty. Occasionally, representational imagery surfaces: eyeballs, female figures, hearts, and flowers appear within or alongside abstraction, functioning less as literal depictions and more as symbolic interruptions. These motifs introduce narrative fragments into otherwise nonobjective compositions, hitting at themes that are not yet fully articulated but insistently present. Recently, Mackenzie has begun incorporating collage elements into her practice.This recontextualization of existing pieces expands the already evident connection between her paintings. The act of assembling mirrors her commitment to working in a series and her process of building meaning through accumulation. Her paintings become a record of movement, a confident assertion of self, and a visual diary of intuition unfolding in real time.
