All About Kay
Celebrating life through a lens
​
As a child growing up around Avalon Beach and Lara, Australia, Kay was taught to respect the moods and movement of land, sea and sky. These observations influence her works.
As a young adult Kay took up photography, singing, and painting. A 30-year career as a professional singer-songwriter ensued.​ In her spare time she completed courses in photography, professional writing and editing, and interior design.
With a passion for colour psychology and metaphysics, Kay is also extensively practiced in the art of healing modalities and meditation.
​
Combining an artistic eye with mindfulness and her love of nature and humanness, Kay reminds us to see beauty in the detail, find gratitude in the ordinary, and feel the rhythm of life in the everyday.
​​
"In a very focused way (pun intended) I've learnt so much about living in the moment, being in awe of the tiniest details, slowing down, and falling in love with the world over and over again through the lens of my camera. Photography sharpens my gratitude, keeps me mindful, and reminds me to add happiness to the world, not subtract from it. If people consider my images to be without meaning, then they have overlooked mankind's need to feel peace and joy."
