Helen Kay was born in Adelaide, South Australia.
As far back as she can remember drawing and painting always played a major role in her life. For over 30 years Helen has been a full time artist and art educator. As an artist she is best known for her immense diversity of works. Her works are a blend of stylized abstract figures paired with fauna and flora elements and representational subjects. Her intimate understanding of colour and passion for the richness of diverse mediums is reflected in all her works. She draws inspiration from nature, landscapes, pop culture, movies, music and various mythologies.
Helen has worked closely with many art dealers, artists and the art industry. She is co-founder and former CEO of East & Fifth School of Art and Gallery, from 1994 - 2007. Her works have been exhibited and purchased by many galleries and collectors within Australia and abroad. Helen has a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) and Graduate Diploma in Education from the University of South Australia. She also holds a Diploma of Arts Psychotherapy from the Ikon Institute of Australia.
