Kay Thurston

Kay is a visual artist based in Port Macquarie. Kay’s work is a deep reflection of her connection to the natural world.

Inspired by the intricate beauty of native flora, she creates highly detailed pieces that celebrate the delicate patterns, textures and organic rhythms found in nature. Her artworks span across a variety of surfaces, from textured white and black paper to both small and large-scale canvases.

Kay’s art process is meticulous and intuitive, often layering fine details to evoke a sense of movement and depth. Curiosity and experimentation are central to her art practice.

Constantly evolving, she has embraced acrylics, inks, gouache, alcohol inks and more recently collage techniques incorporating washi paper, pushing the boundaries of her work and exploring new ways to express the dynamic energy of the natural world. Through her art, Kay invites viewers to pause and appreciate the intricate beauty that often goes unnoticed. Each piece a tribute to the quiet wonders of nature.

Kay’s work has been featured in several group and solo exhibitions, with a growing audience drawn to the delicate  yet powerful essence captured in every piece. Her pieces have sold pieces both locally, nationally and internationally. Kay is a huge supporter of local charities having donated many artworks to local causes & events.
