About Mackenzie

Mackenzie Serwa is an artist currently based out of Rochester, NY. Through the tactility of glass and notions of collecting, she explores the emotional and physical connections between intimacy. The addition of other media - clay, photo, sound - allows viewers to connect more directly with themes of temporality, memory, and accumulation. Mackenzie’s excitement and passion for material processes have allowed her to develop skills in glass that span furnace-working, kiln-forming, photo and video integration, and the combining of digital processes and glass. 

Mackenzie earned her BFA in glass from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and is finishing her MFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her interest in connecting individuals with glass has led her to pursue work in production, galleries, and teaching at non-profit public access studios and college institutions, and her work has been featured digitally internationally, in exhibitions and juried shows across the country, and can be found in private and permanent collections at the Minneapolis College in Minneapolis, MN and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in River Falls, WI.
