Kay Donges was raised in North Louisiana and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. She has a degree in art education from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. Her works have received numerous awards and regional recognition.

In 2002, Kay turned from egg tempera strictly to acrylic painting, using more vivid flat colors. Her subject matter also changed focusing more on the scenery and objects of Maine, especially the mid coast region.

Kay loves a palette of bold clear colors. Her works reveal her appreciation for the emotional value of the simple scenery around her. Recurring elements of Kay's paintings are objects, boats, and houses of Maine. Kay considers herself primarily a colorist. She is constantly on the lookout for the interplay between juxtaposed pigments producing a very powerful image.

Her works can be found in many private and corporate collections.
