Sibyl MacKenzie

Born in Virginia, the second daughter in a Foreign Service family, Sibyl lived in England, China and Germany. She studied Chinese watercolor painting under Hsiao Yu Hsien for five years. She graduated from Columbia University with a degree in German Literature and has worked for the Federal government as an analyst and speechwriter.

Sibyl's work is a mixture of fantasy, woodland, and ocean themes, done in acrylic, pastels, watercolor and pencil. She tries to place realistic images in a context where fantasy meets reality, to explore the fine line between the inner and outer world. She has exhibited in galleries in Virginia, Seattle, New York, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Her work is presently on display at the Gilchrist Gallery in Cumberland, MD and the Water Street Gallery in Petersbrg, WV.

During the winter of 2002-2003, Sibyl created her first mural.
