She lived in India for 25 years, where she illustrated for the Time of India Press, designed 30 nature posters for the Indian State Railways, painted horse portraits and a mural of wild ducks for the Bombay Natural History Museum. After returning to England, she wrote and illustrated numerous children's animal stories and painted animal portraits. Kay's best know illustration is Brer Rabbit and furry farmyard friends. She also skilfully characterises pandas, elephants, lions and snakes. She was the recipient of many awards and medals and made an 'Academic of Italy with Gold Medal' in 1980. She exhibited in 1920-26 in Birmingham and Coventry. She studied at the Camden and Birmingham Schools of Art. Back in England she illustrated Maurice Burton's bird families (London 1962).
