Dru McKenzie
Dru McKenzie (b.1957) has worked as an artist at the progressive art studios of Tierra del Sol since 1998. McKenzie’s signature style of thick contour lines is used to depict a menagerie of animals, portraits and everyday objects. Her bold stylised imagery and sense of colour make strong graphic statements. McKenzie has been honoured with solo exhibitions at First Street Gallery Art Centre and at the 24 Hour Gallery in Pasadena, California. McKenzie was featured in an Artsy article by Doug Harvey: "10 L.A. Artists Whose Work You Probably Don’t Know—but Should".
