Mark Bailey (b. 1982) was raised within a family of art appreciators who encouraged creativity. He began to draw at a young age and went on to earn a Bachelor's degree of fine art (BFA) from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Bailey's paintings record his diverse surroundings in an abstracted, painterly fashion, from people he meets to ordinary things he sees around him. His cityscapes and urban interiors reproduce the glow and bustle of city life, while his portraits might suggest a compelling story behind every face. - Liz Greenfield, ArtistADay.com "Fabulous abstract renditions of urban scenes. The intrigue is heightened by a style that is all his own." - InformedCollector.com Mark Bailey is a member of the American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.
