We were able to sneak a painting in before we left Indianapolis. A short but fun trip. Thanks Michael for the help hauling artwork and hanging out for the day! #allaprimapochadebox #outdoorpainter #pleinair

Michael Patrick Bailey’s (image 3) @michaelpatrickbailey artwork is today’s highlight of NHGCA-BG Projects “Locality: An Exhibit About Culture and Place in Evansville and New Harmony” on view through Saturday, April 11th, 2026. Michael’s oil on linen artworks “Rivertown” (image 1, 2025) and “New Harmony 66” (image 2, 2026) depict scenes of the built environment in nearby Newburgh, IN, and the gallery’s location in New Harmony, IN. The repeated shapes and angles of each work emphasize how individual aspects of a community work together to layer meaning and a unique feeling of place. There is a simple allusion towards the themes of rebirth and the cycles of life in the wider exhibit, with one artwork featuring the light of a sunrise across its surface, and one shrouded in darkness as a nocturne painting. A recent transplant to the area, Michael brings a unique perspective and color palette to the local environment. Michael Patrick Bailey was born in Indianapolis (IN) and raised in the Miami Valley just south of Dayton (OH). A self-taught painter, his experience as a lifelong sportsman and lover of the outdoors blazed the trail for him to become an award-winning wildlife artist. A member of the Brown County Art Gallery (IN,) his wildlife and landscape works are featured in private and public collections around the world and have been shown in New York, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salem, Cheyenne, Livingston, Honolulu, Wichita, Indianapolis, and beyond. The BG Projects and New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT.

Celebrating 100 Years Of Fine Art!

“SOMEWHERE OUT WEST” 9X12 Oil $400.00

Michael Patrick Bailey is an artist whose work ranges from wildlife to cityscapes. And one never really knows how or what he will depict in any painting he does. Sometimes whimsical or tongue in cheek, and sometime just plain magnificent in the scope and vision he shows. His talent is not limited to a canvas or drawings. It is only limited only by his masterful imagination in art. One would like to set up a chair in his mind and watch how his artistic brain works.
If you’re interested in Michael's artwork or any of the other paintings in the Exhibit, call us at 1-812-988-4609 during gallery hours. We are here to help you.

✨ UPROOTED — 3rd Printing! ✨ From your friends upstairs at The Catbird Seat.

Before we ever stepped behind the stoves here, before the long nights, the tasting menus, the mischief, and the magic — we made a comic book. Yep, an honest-to-goodness cooking comic. Uprooted is our illustrated origin story: the wild path that led us to each other, to food, to Slow Burn, and eventually right here to Catbird.

And now… the 3rd printing is officially live.
We’re pre-selling it starting today, and every copy will ship out December 16th — just in time for holiday gifting, holiday hiding, or holiday pretending-you’re-going-to-read-more-next-year.

It’s part cookbook, part chaos, part love letter to the people and places that shaped us.
Drawn by the brilliant Michael Patrick Bailey and written by the two of us who somehow thought “what if we made a comic book?” was a reasonable idea.

If you’ve ever sat at the counter and wondered, “How did these two end up here?” — this book is the answer. Or at least a beautifully drawn version of it.

👉Link in bio to grab your copy of UPROOTED (3rd printing). Thank you for supporting our weird, lovely creative projects. We promise to keep cooking, keep storytelling, and keep not taking ourselves too seriously.

❤️
— The Catbird Seat (Tiff & Andy)
