Kathleen Isabella Mackie was born in Belfast where she attended the School of Art from 1918. She moved to the
Royal Academy Schools in London in 1921 after winning various awards and there she came under the influence
of well known painters George Clausen, Sir Gerald Kelly and Sir William Orpen.The setting has been identified
as Lisnalinchy, near Ballyclare. Her love of Donegal brought her into contact with fellow artists Frank Egginton
and they went on many painting expeditions together. In 1936 she was appointed ARUA. She exhibited regularly
at the RHA, RUA and the Watercolour Society of Ireland.
