Moy Mackay is an award-winning Scottish artist, gallery owner, author and educator.

Born in Edinburgh, she lives and works in Traquair in the Tweed Valley and her work is often influenced and inspired by the natural beauty and seasonal colour of the surrounding Scottish Borders landscape.

Mackay studied at the Glasgow School of Art and 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.

She is widely regarded as the leading authority on this art form and has had three books published to date, selling 60,000 copies worldwide. Her work has been featured in publications and on TV, including Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year. She has worked and exhibited nationally and internationally including in the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway and Sweden and her work hangs in private collections worldwide.
