HIGHER ARTIST - KIM S. MACKENZIEKim S. MacKenzie (PhD) has used soft pastels on cotton paper for over 30 years to create a large body of uniquely original higher art. With a life-long interest in human nature, mysticism, and metaphysics, her creative radar seeks to discover, fathom and interpret the rhythmic flow of universal forces and their innate relationship with matter.
Kim's art journey has evolved through two distinct stages: a formative stage from 1992-2012 under her maiden name of Kim Gallagher, and a second stage from 2019-ongoing under her married name of Kim S. MacKenzie. Her return to full time art practice followed a 12 year hiatus of award-winning post-graduate study and employment in higher education, as well as 2 years hosting her own community program RiSE on Radio 4EB (also nominated for a national award in innovation). The original motivation for returning to university was to pursue expertise in leveraging Internet resources for the promotion of her artwork. Kim's early-stage 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. Several series of images were licensed to an Australian greeting card manufacturer, and to a French art licensing company. The LANTERN LANE Studio was launched in Brisbane in 2019 to mark the beginning of a prolific new era of higher artwork production. Many of the new LANTERN LANE Studio images have been used to create unique higher art books, including 'HOMAGE TO THE STARS By DAY and by NIGHT' and 'THE CITY OF STARS'. Innovative text book 'COLOUR CONSCIOUSNESS A Practitioner's Guide to HIGHER ART' is also inspiring a new generation of higher art enthusiasts all around the world (read artist's feedback here). The LANTERN LANE Studio is dedicated to promoting the practice of higher art through the ongoing production of higher art and books, public lectures, workshops, and online seminars.
