Mackenzie Becker
Mackenzie Becker is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of her business, MackBecks, a jewelry brand known for its bold, story-driven designs.
Her love for travel and creative exploration was transformed after attending her first artist residency in Northern Italy—a life-changing experience that sparked the idea to design a space with her friends where creatives could embrace the same magic of community, collaboration, and self-discovery.
Her vision is to foster collective creativity and the joy of living in community by bringing together adventurous creatives to explore their work, connect with others, and immerse themselves in a shared journey of inspiration. For Mackenzie, the residency is not just about creating art—it’s about creating an unforgettable experience where curiosity, collaboration, and creativity flourish together.
