Bailey was born in Maui, Hawaii. It was there that she developed a connection to the ocean and the raw, stripped down experience of being human. She studied photography at Parsons School of Design where she received her BFA in photography, and went on to earn a degree in Cultural Anthropology at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at the New School in New York. She has always been wildly curious about culture, society, politics and the humanities. While it was her pursuit of the arts that brought her to New York, her history and heart always belonged in the city. Her great grandmother emigrated to America through Ellis Island. Her mother did her residency program in the Bronx, while her dad lived out of his VW van in the East Village.
Bailey photographs lifestyle, portraiture and fine art imagery. Early in her career, she assisted American photographer and filmmaker Pamela Hanson and was influenced by her presence, conviction, humanity and instincts. The formal qualities of Bailey’s photographs have rich, environmental colors, natural light and an honest, innately human quality. Her work is characterized by an embrace of the feminine, a deep appreciation for nature and an honest, intimate portrayal of humanity. In her personal projects she has addressed the influence of place on identity and sisterhood as a formative experience. Her photographs maintain an integrity of emotion and movement. Her objective with pictures is to draw empathy out of her viewer whether that is joyful or contemplative, she wants them to feel. Her idea of happiness is an afternoon spent on a sailboat under the summer sun. Her Nikon FM2 is in hand and some good friends are recounting stories and finding laughter.
