Dorothy Kay was a painter and graphic artist, nee Dorothy Moss Elvery in Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland, the sister of Beatrice Elvery. She studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art and the Royal Hibernian Academy School in Dublin. With her sister, she travelled to Paris in 1904 to further her studies, and within two years she was exhibiting at the Royal Hibernian Academy. In 1910, she moved to South Africa, where she married Hobart Kay, a surgeon. She was active in East African artistic circles and continued to send work to the Royal Hibernian Academy, British Empire Exhibition, Royal Society of British Artists, and also to Jamaica, Canada and Australia. Dorothy Kay was also a prolific illustrator for local magazines. She died in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in 1964, and a retrospective exhibition was held the following year at Pretoria Art Gallery. Examples of her work are held in the collections of the National Gallery of South Africa and several galleries in South Africa.
