THE JOURNEY
The Creative Classic IV: Expressions in Bloom
The Creative Classic, hosted by The Movement Street, was Mackenzie's first ever public viewing of her art. Hosted in Southeast D.C, showcasing six pieces, she stood out with her vibrant colors and whimsical style. "The Creative Classic was an evening to remember. I remember being so incredibly nervous because it was the first time anyone ever saw my art apart from social media. I am so grateful I could be apart of the experience." (April 2025)
Art Groove NYC
Only one month later, Kenzies Third Eye was seen again in New York City. Showcasing three pieces at The Art Groove, Mackenzie gained more exposure to the art scene. "I remember being so excited to go to New York and enter a different scene. It was so crazy to me that I was showing my art publicly so soon after my very first show... such a blessing." (May 2025)
Pancakes and Booze
Mackenzie made her third and most recent appearance at Pancakes and Booze, an internationally renowned pop-up founded in LA in 2009. Showcasing fan favorites such as "Enlightenment Level 6" and "Awakening", Kenzie's Third Eye gained more spotlight in the public eye. "When I first arrived at the show to drop off my art, the line was around the block. So many talented artists were present and I remember feeling small in that moment. I just couldn't believe I had gotten so far in such a short time." (September 2025)
