Amadea Bailey is an expressionist painter working in acrylic, mixed media, collage and drawing.  Her large scale paintings are highly textured depictions of inner and outer landscapes and states of mind.  Emotionally driven, Bailey’s work is drawn from a vast reservoir of experiences, emotions, dreams and memories.

Amadea was born in Germany and  spent her formative years in a small village outside of Nairobi, Kenya.  She began painting at Yale University where she received a B.A. in Art History in 1979. She finished two years of  graduate studies in painting at the New York Studio School in 1982.   In 1984 she became a fully certified teacher of the Alexander Technique after three years of training at the American Center for the Alexander Technique in NYC.

Bailey has exhibited at numerous galleries and art fairs in Los Angeles,  including Robert Berman Gallery,  William Turner Gallery,   Shoshana Wayne Gallery,  Fabric Projects, and The L.A. Art Show.  She has also shown at the Palm Springs Art Fair and  Art Basel Miami (Scope and Art Miami).

Her works are in private collections  across the United States and Europe including that of Halle Berry, Todd and Katy Boehly ( owners of the L.A Dodgers)  Rhona Mitra, Tia Carrere, The Oceana Hotel in Santa Monica, Cathy Carlton Casting,  The Finish Line Productions,  Marlin Equity Partners Ltd in London and Polsinelli Law Firm In NYC.
