Through her life-sized drawn, painted, and screen-printed fabric installations, Kay Healy investigates themes of home, loss, displacement, and resilience with interview-based projects.
Healy received a BA from Oberlin College and a MFA from the University of the Arts. Her installation Coming Home was purchased by the Pennsylvania Convention Center, and her work has been supported by the Independence Foundation’s Fellowship in the Arts and the Leeway Foundation.
Healy has had solo exhibitions at Gallery Madison Park in New York City, Gallery Septima in Tokyo, Japan, the Windgate Gallery in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts, the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, and other galleries. She has completed residencies at KKV Print Studios in Malmö, Sweden, The Cooper Union in New York City, and will participate in the Moosey Gallery Residency in Norwich, UK in Fall 2024.
She is currently working on a graphic novel series for children that will be published in 2025 by Neal Porter Books, an imprint of Holiday House.
