Bailey Flinn
Bailey Flinn (b. 1998) is an emerging artist from Seattle, Washington. She received her BFA from Whitman College. She is currently traveling, so her studio is the world.
Bailey uses her art to explore the themes of womanhood, nature, and color. Her interest in womanhood grew from the discovery of her own queer identity and the growing community of queer and trans friends she has created. Her interest in the theme of womanhood is also about the strict gender roles created in our society and how they impact her life and the lives of those around her. Bailey also feels that to be an artist in our times is impossible without discussing nature and the global warming crisis we face. Bailey believes in creating art about the world in which we lives and that world is inseparable from climate change. Finally, Bailey Flinn loves experimenting with color — the way that colors interact with one another and the ways color effect emotions. She also loves seeing the ways in which other artist use color from Mark Rothko to Amy Sillman. Other themes Bailey explores in her work include: play, the seriousness with which we take ourselves, and daily life.
