About

Michael Patrick Bailey (b.1986) was born in Indianapolis and raised in the Miami Valley just south of Dayton, OH. A self-taught painter, his experience as a lifelong sportsman and lover of the outdoors blazed the trail for him to become an award-winning wildlife artist.

His wildlife and landscape works are featured in private and public collections around the world and have been shown in New York,  Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salem,  Cheyenne, Livingston, Honolulu, Wichita, Indianapolis, and beyond. 

Additionally, Michael is a published illustrator — his works include the comics Uprooted, The Happy, and the Le Poux series, as well as the children's books Now We Are Seven, Stella Rose and the Sea Dragon, and The Joy of Being the First.

He always wanted to be a cowboy.
