For Northern California-based oil painter Eric Bailey his color-soaked canvases serve as more than just a creative outlet — it’s a timetable of his life’s current and past events, interests, and reflections. Continually culling inspiration from his surroundings, his work evolves and morphs as he moves around California’s soil. From living in the depths of downtown Los Angeles to the rustic outerlands of Santa Cruz mountains — he’s taken relics of each location to grow his art into what we see today. Which is what Bailey describes as “discovering beauty in the simple, everyday things, old and new.”

Bailey was recently named one of Refinery29 San Francisco’s top artists to watch now! See the article here.
