"The image of a ‘lantern’ has long been associated with the source, containment, and emanation of LIGHT, which for many, across the ages, has symbolised the Divine inner flame concealed within the body of the human spirit …"
An extract from the book 'LANTERN LANE - A Book of Art Inspiration' by Kim S. MacKenzie (PhD) (Lantern GIF by Maggie Marbles - Illustrator)
Kim S. MacKenzie (PhD) is an Australian Artist-Philosopher who has used soft pastels on cotton paper for over 30 years to create a large body of highly original semi-abstract artworks (and corresponding writings) to foster deep contemplation.
Kim has always been drawn to nature, metaphysics and mysticism. Her creative radar seeks to discover, fathom and interpret the rhythmic flow of universal forces and their innate relationship with matter.
Kim is a champion for the development of the 'Three I's - IMAGINATION, INSPIRATION and INTUITION', as inherent and empowering mind tools of the human psyche. Exploring the use of semi-abstract artwork for this purpose underpins the rationale behind her visionary art practice, pioneering workshops, and inspirational books.
Kim's artworks have been published on US and Australasian book, magazine and CD/DVD covers, and used in the set designs of US and UK-based feature films and television series.
