My Journey
Hi! My name is Bailey. I create lifelike custom drawings and dreamy portraiture artwork.
In my early years, I remember getting creative with whatever I could get my hands on. I began creating portrait artwork for friends and family around age twelve, and sold a few pieces by the time I was fourteen.
I started creating more and more as I entered high school. Private lessons and classes at school nourished my passion, showing me the endless possibilities the various mediums of art can provide.
Finding My Place
It never really crossed my mind that I could actually be a self-employed artist!
Although I was sure about wanting to enter the art field, it never really crossed my mind that I could actually be a self-employed artist! Pressure among society and the education system pushed me towards more "normal" areas of study.
I kept drawing part-time to help pay for college, but I just wanted to create day and night. With time, I realized that my art has the potential to help and inspire people, and that's when everything changed for me.
Following My Dream
The process of creation became something I couldn't get enough of— I found what makes my heart sing.
With this realization I knew that I needed to keep creating, so I dropped out of school and dove into the art world. The process of creation became something I couldn't get enough of— the colours, the textures, and ultimately the concept of capturing a moment in a unique way.
As I began taking painting more seriously, I fell in love with the process— the feeling of letting go of all control. Getting out of my comfort zone and exploring new techniques allowed me to strengthen the connection between my mind and body.
Passionate About Connecting
Sharing pieces of my heart, I hope to inspire someone along the way.
My focus is portraiture— I love drawing and painting people, animals, and eyes. Passionate about connecting with others for the advancement of humanitarian and social ideals, I'm committed to breaking down stereotypes and using my art to help people.
I specialize in drawing, and I also love to experiment with different medias such as watercolour, acrylic and oil paint. Sharing pieces of my heart, I hope to inspire someone along the way.
