Artist Statement:
Each moment we live is a gift
and there are moments that I
capture with my lens that I
can savor and share - that's
how I view my photography -
whether it is strait shooting
or images I dreamed up from
reality into fantasy - it is a
sharing of hearts and minds.
Sometimes I translate what my
heart sees through brushes
onto canvas and then I share
color - color that grabs you
by the eyeballs and swings you
around. ...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Both of my parents - My father, John Bailey was a surrealist who worked in both oils and acrylics. My mother, Mail Penhaligon Kirk styles her self an Expressive Realist (a term she coined) - she prefers oils - Although they're styles and talents are vastly different they both were prolific and really taught me to put what I envision out there for all to see. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
It is my nature - I see therefore I share. |
