Kirsty Lackie (b.1989) is a Glasgow based artist who paints and draws. She studied Communication Design at The Glasgow School of Art (2018) specialising in illustration. She works primarily with oil pastel and acrylics to create playful compositions that tell stories, often featuring an assorted cast of characters.

Lackie has exhibited work recently in a group show at Contemporary Six Gallery (Manchester, 2024) and a solo show at Boardroom Committee Room (Glasgow, 2023). Two of her paintings were recently commissioned for Hôtel de la Boétie (Paris, 2023).
