Artist Bio - Marjorie Kay

My background as an artist has been inspired by nature, wildlife and the beauty of my surroundings. I have experimented with various mediums, water colours, Acrylics, Oils, Gouache and Alcohol inks with a passion to reproduce and share these feelings through my art.

I am self taught and since being retired I have time to indulge my creative side. My paintings range in size from miniature to large and encompass landscapes, seascapes animals and birds and illustrating my books.

After experiencing first hand the devastation of the Green Wattle Creek Fire I was inspired to write about it and I have published my first book, I Know A Safe Place Summer 2019/2020 which I also illustrated, telling the story through the eyes of the horse and his many friends on our property.

I have also written and illustrated Something about Bees and a series of little books Tales from the bush Australia 1 and 2, so far.

I have a website as follows, https://art-by-marjorie-kay.square.site

I have enjoyed creating and love sharing my work with others. I have produced many cards and prints from my artwork. I am at the Colo Vale Markets NSW, the first Saturday of the month (excluding January) if you would like to say Hi.
