Paul Kay has worked with wood as an Engineering Patternmaker since 1971. Working with designers, artists, manufacturers and technicians Paul has produced every conceivable shape for domestic and international manufacture.
During the early 1990’s Paul attended Friday night drawing classes at Julian Ashton Art Classes, Sydney. This inspired an artistic career in wall and table sculpture using single pieces of timber as his medium.
In September 2026, Paul won the Wollombi Sculpture In The Vineyards 2026 London Sculpture Prize. The award was made for “This Life” wood relief sculpture that was on display in the vineyards festival. The prize enables Paul to hold a Solo Exhibition in the Hampstead School of Art London in November 2027.
