Wellington Art Society selects February online artist
Paintings by Barbara McKee Bailey to be featured on Society’s virtual gallery
Wellington, FL, January 15, 2009 – Throughout the month of February, the Wellington Art Society’s online Gallery Show will feature the work of member-artist Barbara McKee Bailey.
A native of Manhattan, Bailey studied watercolor at the Jacaruso Studio in Rhinebeck, NY. After several years operating a successful bed and breakfast in the Hudson Valley, she retired to Lake Worth, continuing her studies at the Armory Art Center. Her work has been exhibited in a variety of galleries, both in South Florida and New York. While Bailey has worked mostly in acrylic and mixed media, the artist has recently begun experimenting in abstract techniques.
Visit the Society’s website at www.wellingtonartsociety.org and sample twelve of Bailey’s paintings in the site’s Gallery Show section. The online exhibit runs February 1 – 28. All works are available for purchase.
Founded in 1981, The Wellington Art Society is open to artists of all mediums and patrons of the arts, providing both local and regional artists the platform to share their work, learn more about their craft and serve the community through their art.
