Robert Tait McKenzie est originaire d’Almonte, Ontario. À l’âge de dix-huit ans, il débute ses études à l’Université McGill, où il obtient son diplôme de médecine avant de rejoindre la faculté en tant que chargé de cours en anatomie, ainsi que directeur médical de la physiothérapie. Tait McKenzie sculpte dès 1903, né d’un besoin de modèles à utiliser dans les cours d’anatomie. À l’Université McGill et, plus tard, à l’Université de Pennsylvanie, il développe sa pratique comme sculpteur et parvient à recevoir une reconnaissance pour son travail artistique.
