Born in Bombay, Winifred McKenzie (1905 - 2001) grew up in Scotland and studied at Glasgow School of Art, then at the Grosvenor School of Art in London. In London during the 1930s, she was elected a member of the National Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers and was also a member of the Society of Wood Engravers.

The family moved to St Andrews in 1940 where she set up art classes for Polish servicemen. After the war Winifred was appointed to Dundee College of Art as a lecturer in composition, life drawing, and wood engraving. She continued to paint for most of her life.
