Artist Statement
My paintings express a deeply rooted familial connection to the Canadian countryside. Mountains, rivers, hills, valleys, forests, farmland — I love them all!
Visual complexity is distilled into carefully choreographed simplicity. Shapes, surface textures, and a limited palette are combined with a powerful and unifying black. A poetic re-interpretation of landscape emerges in my distinctive and authentic voice.
“The moment I laid my eyes on Cheryl Bailey’s Canadian landscape paintings, I was struck by their rich, expansive color and intense texture. Visual complexity is distilled into carefully choreographed simplicity. A poetic re-interpretation of the scene she is rendering emerges in a unique and distinctive style.“
David Reed, RIverdale Hub Gallery Curator
