Kay Le Seelleur Ara (b. 1941) is a prolific painter who resides in Jersey, Channel Islands. She went to art college in Corsham, an avant-garde school modelling itself on the Bauhaus. Kay spent 4 years (1958-1962) under the guidance of Howard Hodgkin and Gillian Ayres along with a roll call of British modernists including William Scott and Adrian Heath. Her work is quirky, humorous and often autobiographical pulling on a wide range of experiences. Like most female artists of that era she was forgotten but has recently been rediscovered via Instagram when she posts her work almost daily. After having her first solo show at Arthouse Jersey in 2023 where hundreds of her recent works were displayed she will have a new solo show at the CCA Gallery, Jersey and showing work at the British Art Fair SOLO 2024. Her first London Gallery solo is planned for 2025 with Ruup & Form.
