About
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 mediums, Acrylic Paint now being my favourite.
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 and holds 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 comissions, this is something I would still do but using acrylic paint instead of pencils. This is something I would still do on request, but now prefer to paint with acrylics rather than using pencils.
My passion now is painting, whether it be seascapes, woodlands, wildlife or buildings. Normally with lots of colour!
I enjoy using various different techniques especially when painting an abstract piece. It’s amazing how many household items can be introduced into a painting! 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 walking 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. Contact me
