Christopher Mac Kinnon
“Close Encounters of a Jersey Kind”
September 1 – October 31, 2025
A longtime exhibitor and award winner. Christopher Mac Kinnon’s initial foray into juried art competitions
began in 1979. Winning a “Best in Show”. At the annual Allaire Village, (NJ) outdoor show. A versatile
artist. Mac Kinnon has worked realistically and abstractly in oils, acrylics, clay and wood and mixed media. Most of his current output consists of acrylic ”Plein Air” paintings. Mr. Mac Kinnon is forever
grateful to Mel Leipzig and Scott Powers. Nationally known artists who so graciously offered their expertise and encouragement.
WHY PLEIN AIR?
“Plein Air” affords one the opportunity to participate in an art experience unlike any other. The outside
world invites one to select, edit, interpret and visually record their surroundings. Natural, as well as man made.
