"Bailey Saliwanchik hails from the deep woods, swampy fields and blue skies of Maine, emerging with a belief in plant magic and the enchanted female. Her subjects are borne from a process of intuitive visual construction and combined interests in contemporary illustration, fashion illustration, classic figurative painting, ancient ideologies, goddess worship and fantastical female characters : gypsies, princesses, witches, mermaids, cowgirls, nuns, dancers queens and mediums. She loves big hair, books by Tom Robbins, ambiguous symbolism, gin, curls, and pumpkin muffins. She is currently based in Brooklyn, NY."
