Living and working on the Isle of Skye, the printmaker Tom MacKenzie (b.1947 - d.2018) is renowned for his colour etchings of the island and the West Coast of Scotland. The visual richness of Skye – the jagged coastlines and monolithic rock formations; the wild island sea and the haunting misty air – gave MacKenzie enough research that would sustain his artistic career spanning many years. Within his work, MacKenzie strives for simple and harmonious compositions but these are often hard-won; plates are often worked and reworked before he achieves a satisfying result.
