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 in shows across the U.K. most recently at The Alchemy Experiment (Glasgow, 2024), Shapeero/Murray (Newton Mearns, 2024), Contemporary Six Gallery (Manchester, 2024) and a solo show at Boardroom Committee Room (Glasgow, 2023).
