Starting with local community classes in pottery, then watercolor painting and acrylics, her present passion is soapstone carving and clay sculpture. Her prior career took her into Veterinary medicine as an Animal Health Technologist and clinic manager. Her pets, dogs, horses and wildlife have played a large part in her personal and professional life. 

She has found a love of form and movement in the art of carving. Soapstone is a continual journey of surprise and joy as the stone’s color and life surfaces. Working with clay offers Kay more freedom in texture, refinement and finishes. Wildlife, animals and the outdoors dominate her work in both paint and sculpture. Kay has been showing her work at local art markets, and art club member shows. She especially likes teaching beginner soapstone carving locally.
