Bailey, Karen
Art Form: Painting
Karen Bailey was born in Ottawa and studied at the Reigate School of Art and Design in England. While her past work has included book illustration, courtroom drawing, heraldic art and calligraphy, she now focuses on painting people at work. Her recent series documents the military medical personnel at work at the Role 3 Hospital in Kandahar. What interests Bailey most are ‘behind the scenes’ support staff who make it possible for the ‘front line’ service men and women to do their job. She seeks to recognize those whose contribution often goes unnoticed.
She paints from her Ottawa studio and has exhibited in Ireland, Britain, USA and Canada.
