Biography
Amy MacKay (b. 1985 Sonoma, California) is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles. Generating
work through a multi-step translation process, she stages group events, and, drawing from written,
photographic, and interview documentation, records the experience as paintings. Within this collaborative
exchange, she uses translation to explore the gaps and mutations formed across a shared experience
over time. Residual feelings and mutations are privileged over the recognizability of the image. It is a
process that is highly physical, almost gymnastic, as additive and subtractive mark making trace her
working memory. It comes back to process; what is the interaction between past and present? And how
do images create absence?
MacKay received an MFA from UC Irvine in 2018 and a BA from Bard College, New York in 2007. She
has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in spaces such as Phase Gallery, Baert Gallery and
the Honolulu Museum. She has received numerous awards, notably the Jon Imber Painting Fellowship
and Leo Freedman Fellowship.
