Ivor M MacKay was born in Glasgow in 1969 of Lewis parents, who returned shortly afterwards to raise their family on the Island. Following education in Lewis, Ivor attended Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with honours in drawing and painting in 1991.
In 1997 Ivor became a full-time professional artist, accepting commissions and also working part-time as an art therapist in the local hospital.
Ivor is inspired by the changing moods and rugged expanse of the Island in all its seasons. The light in the Hebrides in unique and this is reflected in his work.
Most of his sold work has been landscapes and seascapes of Lewis and Harris, and the surrounding waters. He has sold many works over the years and has paintings in several private collections worldwide. He may paint over 50 works per year.
