About the artist
Bailey Doucette is a visual artist and dance instructor based out of Saskatchewan, Canada. Since 2015, she has been actively studying the influence of colour and shape through mixed media practices with a heavy focus on drawing as a medium at the University of Saskatchewan. Doucette’s work has been previously exhibited at the Snelgrove Gallery in Saskatoon among her fellow students in the pursuit of her BFA degree. The content of her artwork combines expressive whimsical shapes with emotional responses presented through phrases and hidden symbolism. This process explores the influence of how the events of our past affect our every-day experiences.

About the artist
I grew up in Saskatoon, where there wasn’t all that much for me to do growing up, so I turned to my imagination to create worlds of fantasy and impossibility while also being fascinated by what I was confronted with in reality. I have always felt a connection to art and movement, wanting to capture the details of life and perplexed by Disney animation. My mom tells me that I’ve been trying to draw since the moment I figured out how to hold a pencil, and as I’ve grown, my style and subject matter have continued to develop, evolve, and at times transform entirely. Sometimes I have trouble pinning myself to a certain aesthetic or practice because I want to do everything at once – realism drawing, cartoons, digital art, photomanipulation, photography, sculpture, animation – but I always, eventually, feel drawn back to that familiar comfort of a pencil in my hand.
