Ralph Mackenzie

From time to time, I have been asked, “Where did you train?” The answer that I give is, “…many years in the school of trial and error.” There are many artists, both historic and contemporary, whose work has inspired me and, without doubt, have had some impact on my style of painting but the best description for me is “self-taught”. I have had some formal training in the School of Architecture at the University of Toronto and I continued to draw and paint while I pursued a career in construction management but now that I have retired, I have the time to devote myself to art both as an artist and an enthusiast.
