LINDSEY BAILEY
Lindsey Bailey is an artist, born and raised in Texas. Ms. Bailey graduated in 2008 from The University of Texas at Austin, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art. And in 2010 she graduated with a Master of Arts in Community Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Ms. Bailey’s process involves a lot of play and vibrant energy; and her work is very social, engaging participants in various activities. She is delighted by failure, happy accidents, and alternative possibilities. Her material choices stem from an attraction to celebrations, hyper colors, and craft- based supplies. She works with young people on a regular basis, which is also a huge inspiration to her aesthetic. The exploration of these elements becomes the content of finished artwork. Ms. Bailey’s work has appeared in numerous exhibitions in the United States and Southeast Asia. She is currently teaching art in Qatar.
