Grace Bailey, Contemporary Realist Prophetic Artist
connecting the seen with the unseen world........ (prophetic art)
This body of work is called "Still Standing".
Following the sudden death of my niece and then my son, 10 months later, these works evolved.
They're strong, beautiful women who look out through veils that resemble flowers, insects, or cracks.
The veils represent lockdown, suppression, depression or a whole host of other things but in the end, they're........
Still Standing!
The underlying theme is to depict beauty, and strength, whether overtly or as a concept within the work designed to bring out the good, the noble or the lovely.
I draw my images with great care and then let the paint find its own path to actively go after the happy accident.
stop press....
The Still Standing Women series will be displayed at an exhibition happening at the Inner West Art Fair in Melbourne in November 2023.

So much is Happening......
|
This year has been a whirlwind and I’m loving it! |
|
So much has been crammed into this year already and its only July! So far this year I’ve had a solo exhibition, works in five combined exhibitions, hosted seven workshops, been published in two books, and painted live in Singapore, Melbourne, Warrnambool and Ballarat. |
I'm back from a world trip!
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Soho galleries in New York, The National Gallery in Washington DC, and four workshops, 2 live painting sessions, and an extended ministry time. It was an amazing trip but more on that later.

Abstracts
These works came out of time of deep grief for my son, who passed away unexpectedly last July.
Initially, I didn’t think I would ever paint again.
He was my best friend. The one person I talked to about my art and it’s practise. The one person who was always at every exhibition and every public art appearance and now he wasn’t there.
But gradually, I gravitated to the studio. I had no intention in mind. I started to play around and gradually, it drew me in and I kept going.
I thought I was creating abstract images but after a while, I began to see I’d been painting subconscious subjects. Images that illustrated the crossover between our dimension and the one my son now inhabits.
In doing so, they became Works of Healing.

who is grace bailey?
Once upon a time, I was a watercolour painter for the sheer love of it. I adored how watercolour takes its own path if you let it! Mix pigment with water and it flows and not always how you expect…..
Then I went off to uni and got a Masters in realist oil portraiture. Despite moving to oils, I used the watercolour technique of loads of medium (turps) and let the paint take its own way!
Years later I discovered the immediacy of acrylics!
And then I began painting live. A lot. In front of an audience with a limited time span.
Hundreds of times…..
Which meant make it quick, baby! It developed my style into a much quicker application than ever before, creating a wonderful looseness and life.
As an artist, It felt like a coming of age of style after so many years of painting realistically.
I use large brushes, loads of water and let the pigment take it’s own path, up to a point. But I still use the realist focus on eyes to ground the works, whether they are people portraits or bird and animal portraits. (My bird and animal paintings are portraits of a personality trait that people have)…..
The artsy language defines that as….. metaphors for the human condition…..
