“I’ve been freelancing now from the road for a few years building up more and more client work,” said Day – an adventurer at heart – in an interview with Ballpitmag. Having studied at the University of California Santa Cruz where she earned a BFA in painting, she moved to Los Angeles only to quit her job six years later, and go on an adventure: first by bicycle, then by other means of transportation.

After two years of biking with her boyfriend (all the way from Vietnam to Turkey!), the two decided to travel with just their backpacks and work along the way. “I’ve painted everywhere from roadside coffee shops in Myanmar to yurts in Mongolia and the list keeps growing,” she writes on her website.

Much like her lifestyle, her illustrations are bright and uplifting, featuring other women doing adventurous things. We admit that scrolling through her Instagram page, we’re kinda jealous.

Her creations are made using gouache and watercolor. All pieces are drawn and painted by hand before being digitally printed. Originally hailing from the bright shores of Australia and the humid tropics of Thailand, Mckay now works in Ohkii Studio, based in Brooklyn, New York.

And coming from a rich and colorful background, she takes her inspiration from many places including the natural world, overseas travel adventures, folk tales, and old murder mystery novels.

Scrolling through her work, we could all use a refreshing cocktail.
