Meet more of my new friends - Audry @artbyaudry (with me holding Grog) and Addy @art._by._addy (standing next to her fabulous WIP, no worries - the sheep has a head, just cropped out of the photo) who were there at the ceramics studio @chq.art every step of the way as I tried my hand at hand-building. Thanks Audry and Addy and the entire clay crew! ❤️ by @mkbailey4u

I will be giving my talk "Ambassador of Beauty" about my great-grandfather Henry Turner Bailey, Director of the Chautauqua School of Arts & Crafts from 1906 to 1917 on Wednesday July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Alumni Hall (the CLSC building) in Chautauqua, NY. It will be the same talk I gave two years ago but this time accompanied by photos of HTB and his wonderful drawings and illustrations! @chq.art @chq.org @clscalumni by @mkbailey4u

Saturday is the last day to see In Bloom at G-Town Arts. Doors open at 11, closing reception starts at 4. Come say goodbye to this one — 11 artists who took flowers as a starting point and never looked back. Poppies that heal and destroy. Invasive species. Domestic textiles. Blooms that open into grief, resilience, and everything in between. 5 Main Street, Georgetown (Redding), CT. See you Saturday. 🌸

On view through July 25, Saturdays 11–4.
DM to inquire.

Bailey's Botanicals series occupies a quietly radical space — basswood planed, cut, and shaped into forms that are neither purely organic nor entirely man-made.
Vital, almost animate — and not to be missed.

In Bloom, on view at G-Town Arts.

Works that move between the botanical and the abstract — tracing form, color, and the quiet energy of growth.

Georgetown, CT. Closing June 13.
