Hollywood, California -- May 02, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ -- Artist McKenzie, winner of the ARTV Fine Art Awards for Mixed Media, has released her newest series of paintings celebrating the impact of music and musicians on our American culture. Paintings of such musical geniuses such as: Kelly Clarkson, James Brown, B.B. King, Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones comprise her set of over 20 Original works.

“The impact of music on American Culture is immeasurable. We need to expand music and arts education in the schools,” says Artist McKenzie. “I hope to attract attention and raise funds for organizations that work to preserve this way of thinking. Some of these amazing organizations are The Grammy Foundation and Musicares.org, among others.”

Artist McKenzie, using her art as a catalyst, is already well on the way to meeting her goal of $1 Million for charity this year. She has pledged to donate 100% of the profits from her website art gallery, as well as, a steep portion of her work sold in galleries to charitable causes.

“McKenzie doesn’t just talk about making a difference, she does make a difference,” says charity advisor Rich Webb. “Her sense of social responsibility is stunning, I am proud to work with her and her staff.”

The McKenzie Art Studio is planning a series of Gallery Fundraising Events as a prelude to the 2007 ARTV Fine Art Awards on September 29th, 2007 at the new Pearl Theater at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A sampling of McKenzie’s Music painting series can be viewed on her website at www.McKenzieArtStudio.com. The Originals will not make their formal debut until June at a gala fundraising event scheduled to take place in Beverly Hills. Limited edition giclees on canvas and posters will be available starting April 21, 2007 from the website.
