Each piece exploring the nature of the individual, offering a glimpse into their life and history.
This incredible new collection takes us on a journey with Makenzy, acquainting us with the experiences and people that have made an impact on her in recent months. Each piece offering a unique opportunity to observe memories brought to life on canvas through Makenzy’s eyes.
About the Artist
Makenzy Beard, a fifteen year old student of Bishopston Comprehensive School in Swansea, took to painting during lockdown.
An avid sports player, Makenzy represents Wales in under 16's hockey. Unable to take part in her favourite sport during lockdown, Makenzy was 'looking for something different to do' and so tried her hand at painting in her mothers studio. A family that has travelled the globe, Makenzy's portraits are not just of friends and family. Her piece 'Raft Boy' features a young boy in the water from an image she took while travelling the Philippines. The portrait gained hundreds of positive comments from viewers, with many astonished that the piece was indeed a painting and not a photograph.
