Artist Statement

Christina Sorace MacKinnon captures dynamic moments with vitality, respite, and
orchestrated disorder. Her vibrant paintings weave together contrasting hues, gestures, and
motifs, creating a rich tapestry of textures and depths. MacKinnon’s artistic exploration delves
into the pursuit of self-awareness, equilibrium, and resolution amidst the interplay of
intersecting forms, intricate mazes, and converging pathways. Reflecting on her journey, she
uncovers the link between her identity and the profound impact of receiving an ADHD
diagnosis later in life.

Her works manifest a compelling interplay of elements that seemingly clash yet find a
harmonious coexistence, mirroring the complexity of emotional congestion and
self-examination. Rooted in her quest to deconstruct formative narratives from her past, her
paintings also serve as a poignant reflection on the challenges faced by women in a
male-dominated world. MacKinnon’s artistic creations, which she aptly terms visual narratives,
serve as a poignant testament to her ongoing reconciliation with these emotions and her
evolving relationship with herself and the surrounding world.

A contemporary abstract painter based in New Jersey, MacKinnon has exhibited in galleries
throughout the US and Canada. Various publications, including the Trenton Times, Create
Magazine, and AllSheMakes, have recognized her work. She recently received a 2022 Fellowship
Award from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In addition, her work is in many public
and private collections. MacKinnon lives and works from her studio in Flemington, New
Jersey, with her husband and children.
