Kathy Marlene Bailey lives in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. She graduated from the University of Toronto in Art Education and Sheridan College in Creative Arts. She has had an active practice in art-making since then, especially since 1995. She has participated for many years in commercial galleries, public exhibitions and juried shows, winning many awards for her work. Her media choices have primarily been traditional glaze oil painting and fine porcelain sculpture.
Both her parents were artists and her childhood summers were spent at a cottage in Haliburton County with a large and closely knit extended family and grandparents. Nature left an indelible mark on her through this experience, as she became fascinated with everything in it with all its complexity and diversities. Water held the most amazing qualities. Kathy has always been spellbound by it - as a small child, incessantly trying to catch its rhythm and its magic with her eyes - and then later as an artist, with both her eyes and paint.
Kathy is one of a handful of artists in Canada who works in the highly specialized field of traditional glaze oil painting. This extremely old method of painting is an ideal medium for exploring water. With it, Kathy is able to record astounding levels of subtle detail. The method has limitless usages to tweak and pull colour, value and colour quality. In her paintings, transparency, translucency, opacity, light and dark, vivid and quiet colours dance together in rich harmonic melody, dancing to her eyes and soul.
