In 2000 she completed a BA in Semiotics and Philosophy, at the University of Sydney, Australia, and in 2019 was awarded a PhD in Fine Arts[1] by the University of Sydney.

In 2007, Macmillan Art Publishing published Notes from the Shed (ISBN 9781876832582), an illustrated selection from Kay's journal focusing on the creative process.[5] It was launched at the University of Sydney by Phillip Adams in August 2007. Her exhibition "Undertow", which explores Jewish migration to Australia, was commissioned by the Maitland Regional Art Gallery in New South Wales and toured regional art centers and museums for four years starting in 2009 – Tamworth Regional Art Gallery, NSW (2009), Maitland Regional Art Gallery, NSW (2010),[4] the Jewish Museum of Australia, Melbourne,[6] and the Moree Plains Regional Art Gallery, NSW (2010), Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, QLD, (2010), Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery, NSW, (2010), Orange Regional Art Gallery, NSW, (2011), and Hervey Bay Regional Art Gallery, Queensland (2012).[7][6] From 2012, in addition to regularly exhibiting in Sydney, Melbourne and in regional galleries and museums in Australia, she was invited to exhibit in Beijing, China.[8] This led to cultural exchange exhibitions in the Beijing Art Academy 2012 and in Meijiang International Art Gallery, Tianjin China 2014, and an art residence in Zhouzhuang, Shanghai 2019. The earlier visits to China led to a decision to undertake a PhD project in visual arts and philosophy at the University of Sydney. The art component of the project, "Shifting Horizons", is a product of numerous research field trips in China, was part of a touring exhibition in Australia and China.[9][10]
