Cate Mackenzie Art Designer's Shop Area

Cate Mackenzie's work is about love. Her heart paintings are now available as a card deck. Cate worked in community arts for many years teaching movement, drama and art, where she learned that what was most important was love and connection to other people. She is devoted to spreading the message of love. "Painting hearts for me is like saying a prayer. I joyfully open myself up to the energy of life to paint them and let them be created through me. They guide me and help me to remember that there is beauty and strength in being vulnerable and soft. When I make the hearts I play music and I dance around the painting while throwing the paint. This is so the paintings capture a sense of movement and energy and openness. My intention is that people can feel a sense of movement and love when they look at them. I hope the heart paintings put a smile on peoples faces and connect them to the love and creativity inside them."
