James Hamilton Hay (1874-1916) was a Birkenhead-born English painter and printmaker. Hay trained in St Ives with Julius Olsson and at the Liverpool School of Art. Inspired by Japanese prints and the work of Francis Dodd he took up dry point engraving in 1913. Hay painted and etched landscapes, marine scenes and portraits, his style influenced by Spencer Gore and the Camden Town Group.
