OXNARD — Beginning February 2, the Channel Islands Maritime Museum (CIMM) will be presenting its latest pop-up exhibition featuring the incredible artwork of Marie McKenzie.
Ojai-based artist Marie McKenzie places sustainability at the heart of her practice. Using salvaged wood and other earth-friendly materials, McKenzie creates abstract and figurative representations of marine flora and fauna with loving detail. The exhibit at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum will feature a variety of paintings and an ethereal wooden kelp sculpture. Art and environmentalism truly synthesize into something beautiful through Marie’s creations.
The Marie McKenzie exhibit will run through May 30, 2023. Entrance to the exhibit is included in the price of admission to CIMM.
