Morgain Bailey (b.1970, she/they) is a European-American artist who lives in northern Maine, home of the Wabanaki nations. Her multifaceted art practice centers around photography, painting, public art projects and a critical dialogue about how we perceive and relate to the people and places where we live. Her work serves as visual evidence, emotional metaphor and as a playful place for visual contemplation. Her public art projects stem from a desire to lead change in organic ways that create community connections and inspire participants to think both creatively and collaboratively.
She works as an exhibiting artist, educator and creator of public art events.
She has a BFA from The San Francisco Art Institute in California. A short list of some of the locations where her work has been shown include the Tacoma Art Museum, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Maine at Farmington, The Humid in Athens, Georgia and at Artemis Gallery in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Her work is held globally in various private collections.
