Brief Bio


Bio --Kay Divant (neé Sturdivant)

I’m a writer with a background in classical piano and in British and Irish Modernism.  I worked as an economics journalist for fifteen years in New York and LA.  On graduating UCLA with English honors, I went to work as an editor for the Rand Corporation and for a US Naval Weapons research firm involved in enhancing the first NASA moon photographs. As a pianist I trained under pupils of Artur Schnabel and Alexander Siloti and took piano master classes at UCLA. For two years I read and taught English at University of New Hampshire and published two books of poetry, then set up art studios in Boston and New York to make text based art and installation works.
