I’m Kay MacDonald, a self-taught artist with a passion for creativity and storytelling through art. From an early age, I was fascinated by drawing and painting, and over the years, I have developed my skills using various different mediums.

I was born in Falkland, Fife loving animals and the outdoors. This has never changed.
I am now very lucky to live in Nairn, a picturesque seaside town in the Scottish Highlands, where there are unlimited ideas and inspiration to paint.

Our local Community Centre is a hub for all things creative and artistic holding monthly exhibitions at which I have shown and sold my works.

When I moved to Nairn in 2017, I was lucky to be able to have more time to draw and paint. I started drawing pet portrait commissions. I now paint and draw a variety of subjects in several mediums, what medium depends on what the subject is and how I want to portray it. 

​

Whether it be seascapes, woodlands, wildlife, pets or buildings, I enjoy using various different techniques and mediums, especially when painting an abstract piece. Normally with lots of colour!

The feeling of having a vision in mind and seeing it come to life is a special thing which I never tire of. Art is not only naturally creative but relaxing and fun. Whether you are painting, drawing, crafting or enjoying a walk round an Art Gallery.

Art is personal to the artist and the viewer. 

​

I also love to go travelling with my wife and dogs in our campervan, quite often involving Rowing Regattas, as we both do Coastal Rowing.  Again, the outdoors comes into play along with the sea. Memories made to paint and then remember again and again.

Translating a moment in time through painting is unique and original.

If you are interested in an original commission or a print of one of my paintings then please get in touch to discuss.
