Meet Kay

Kay is an abstract artist, certified art therapy practitioner, and disabled U.S. Navy veteran with more than 40 years in art and a long parallel life in creative technology. After six years of service, she came home and began the quieter, longer work of using art to make sense of what she carried — and eventually, of helping other people do the same.

This studio supports art therapy as a practice of expression and repair — not as a clinic, not as a corporate program. The work here is gentle, slow, and grounded in the belief that creativity is one of the oldest ways humans have ever processed what they live through. You don't need to be "good at art." You don't need to be in crisis. You just need to be curious.

As an artist, Kay treats every canvas — traditional, digital, or unconventional — as a boundless opportunity to explore emotion, humanity, and expression. Her own work is a dialogue with the soul, translated through vibrant color, shifting texture, and intuitive shape. That same listening is what she brings to a session with you.

She built Human Thread Studios because too many creative, brilliant people have been made to feel "bad at therapy" or "bad at tech" when the truth is simpler: the spaces weren't built for them. So she built one that is — calm, intuitive, and shaped around how people actually feel.

Kay is a proud member of the LGBTQA+ community. Her identity — as a 62-year-old woman, a veteran, an artist, a neurodivergent thinker — shapes everything she makes here. Human Thread Studios exists because she knows firsthand what it feels like to not see yourself reflected in the rooms you walk into. This is a room where you are.
