Mackenzie Pikaart of MVP STUDIO is a ceramic artist based in Philadelphia. Her work is rooted in memory, emotion, and the quiet rhythms of daily life. She creates functional pieces that reflect moments of introspection, using form, color, and texture to explore the space between solitude and connection. Inspired by architecture, poetry, music, and rainy days, her ceramics invite reflection and care. Mackenzie holds a BFA in Crafts/Ceramics from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she lives and works. In addition to her studio practice, she is a ceramics educator, consultant, and wholesaler.
