Crow (2009) Painting by Iain Bailey

Born in the UK in 1979, Iain is an English artist and portrait painter. He studied Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland; and the University of Central Lancashire, England, where he was awarded a Masters Degree in 2007. With over ten years painting experience, he exhibits regularly, paints to commission, and has work housed in private collections internationally. Iain moved to Toronto in 2007, since which time he has begun and continued to develop what he regards as a long-term project. The undertaking deals with the potential for identities, once frayed, fragmented, complicated and splintered due to emigration, illness and factors beyond personal control, to recover and to evolve. The overarching title of the ongoing work is In Defence of Migrants.
