Artist Bio
A Mississippi Delta native, Kay majored in art at Delta State University and later studied at the Memphis College of Art. Life in general put art on hold until 2004 when she began studying at the Bob Tompkins Studio in Madison, MS. She has participated in workshops taught by Joe Anna Arnett, Alan Flattmann, Lucy Mazzerferro, Pat Walker, William Kalwick, Jr., Roger Dale Brown, Robert Lemler, Bob Rohm, Timothy Tyler, Robert Johnson, Stapleton Kearns, Ellen Langford, Duff Dorrough, Jeff Legg, Matt Smith, Clayton Beck, Dot Courson, Becky Joy, John Pototschnik, Lorrie Brennan and Grace Buchanan. Oils remain to be her medium of choice and are used in painting Delta landscapes en plain are. When weather doesn't permit, there is always a still life to paint in the studio. Kay is active in the Greenville DAA and the Jackson Mississippi Artists Guild. She participates in shows and has paintings in local galleries. Kay's goal is to paint almost every day.
