Born in Edinburgh, Mackay studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art and lives and works in Traquair in the Tweed Valley. As a practitioner she has pioneered and established a style of felted painting for which she has become internationally renowned. Using merino fleece fibres and stitch in a painterly way, her creative process explores combining traditional craft methodology with a fine art aesthetic, creating a very personal and innovative approach to visual expression. Moy will be demonstrating this magical art form during the exhibition as she makes this venue her studio for the duration.
