Cynthia McKenzie: Spanish Steps

Opening in the Outerspace Gallery
Saturday 17 August 3 – 4.30pm

Following her recent trip to Spain, Cynthia McKenzie has created a body of work inspired by the famous pilgrimage, El Camino de Santiago, the Way of St. James.

Cynthia’s 12 pastel landscapes and scenes represent what touched her along the Way of St. James. Her 12 paintings acknowledge the 12 Stations of the Cross; they are a reference to the history of the pilgrimage. Her journey was about reflection and contemplation, where the walking mirrored the internal journey as well as the physical steps. Memory has played a key part in the creation of Cynthia’s work; her paintings express the wonderful experience she had, both physically and spiritually.
