Hay attended Canterbury University School of Fine Arts in the early 1980s and has been exhibiting widely in New Zealand and overseas for the past 25 years.
Past work has included several series related to the landscapes of the Port Hills and Lyttelton Harbour, as well as more domesticated scenes, and a fascination with clothing and fabrics.
Hay lives in Lyttelton, where she has a studio in her home, overlooking the inner harbour.
