"Kay is a thinking artist, whose gift is in seeing the world in a different way. A new way. Her way. The superimpositions of coloured chords transform the experience of material in to intellect. Her creative spirit turns the world upside down as she imprints her unique voice in its playfulness, creating stunning fields of bright kaleidoscopic colour that, arranged in a pattern, project from the wall, onto you, networking your space.”
Estelle Lovatt, art critic & broadcaster 2011 Art of England Magazine , September 2011
