Kay Fourie is a multidisciplinary artist working in different materials and techniques: drawing, printmaking, bookmaking and sculpture. Her interest lies mainly with the landscape that she calls her home, the Northern Cape. The relationship with the abovementioned landscape, the exploitation thereof as well as the documentation of daily life are dealt with in different ways.
Born in 1964, she completed her BA FA Honors at the University of the Free State in 1987 with a distinction in Sculpture.
In 2019 she was awarded a prize at the Phatshoane Henney (PH Attorneys) New Breed Art Competition and subsequently earned the opportunity to participate in the 2020 exhibition at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum. Subsequently, she was admitted into the ranks of The Printing Girls, an all-female group of serious printers. She has been invited by the Its Liquid group to participate in one of their exhibitions in Venice in 2023.
Currently, she is exploring bookmaking and ways to combine it with pop-ups and printmaking.
