LIGHT THROUGH THE TREES
at the Van Aken Gallery at Christ Church

Light through the Trees features paintings and mixed media pieces by artist Lucy Bailey on display at the Van Aken Community Gallery at Christ Episcopal Church from November 7th through December 12th, 2020. The show is open Wednesdays from 12- 4:00pm or by appointment by contacting the artist at lucybaileyart.com

Lucy Bailey is a multi-disciplinary artist who received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2019, with a double major in painting and printmaking. While her work is rooted in the logic and history of painting, she employs multiple processes including photography, digital assemblage, fiber processes, and installation.Lucy has received numerous awards for her work, including Julian '54 and Barbara '90 Stanczak Scholarship For excellence in color and composition, and The Carlotta East Scholarship, from The Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. Lucy was most recently the 2020 Emerging Artist Fellow at Praxis Fiber Workshop in the Waterloo Arts District of Cleveland where she had a solo show in August, 2020.

The artist writes: this particular body of work began during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period in which I have a heightened sense of anxiety while more aware of the world around me. I am inspired by moments just before dawn, noticing the first rays of light through trees and the sun in branches swayed by the wind. These moments give me a larger perspective of life and counterbalance my anxiety. Early morning is my time of meditation, impacting what I later put into my work - a play of emotions with the unexpected joy.
