Kay Lily has loved drawing for as long as she can remember. As a child she spent hours at home with her sister, listening to music ... and filling drawing books while her parents both worked. When she spent a year in hospital aged 12, she drew pictures of all the nurses and drew with biro all over the sheets of her bed!
She intended to make a career as an artist but was pressurised into the family business, then married young and had three children which kept her very busy.
Kay later trained as a primary school teacher as a mature student at Middlesex University (then Trent Park college of Education) and studied art as a main subject.
She taught for many years in primary schools in Enfield and Haringey and continued to maintain her interest and practice in art. In her work with refugee and bilingual children she used art as a tool to encourage language development and foster self-esteem.
She attended courses at Chelsea College of Art and Design, Saint Martin’s Art School, The Slade, Heatherlys and Crouch End Art School. She has worked in oils, watercolour, acrylics, pastels, charcoal and coloured pencil. Today her preferred medium is oil paint; she loves the vibrancy of the colours and the rich consistency of the paint.
She has painted landscapes, flowers, still life, life models and portraits and has been an exhibitor in several group exhibitions as well as a one woman exhibition at Jackson’s Lane Centre. She also ran art workshops for children at Jackson’s Lane. Kay’s paintings hang on the walls of many homes in the UK and also in Italy.

At present Kay is concentrating on still life and portraiture. She enjoys the beauty of the forms and colours of fruits and various objects such as decorative eggs, ceramic jugs and pots and the light reflected on bottles and glasses. She has recently embarked on a project to paint portraits of her friends where she tries to capture the personality of the sitter as well as the appearance.
Kay welcomes your commissions of portraits or still life.
