For Lindsey Bailey, Memphis, TN, art wasn’t her initial career path; it was actually the Science and Tech sector that caught her eye. She reminisced on her time at Mississippi State, in which she laughed and said, “I thought I was going to be in medical engineering and then I was like oooo look at all this math.” On a whim, she entered a cell-phone design contest in college, and she won. From that leap of faith, Bailey discovered her love for graphic design and portraiture, which began her whirlwind journey to becoming an artist.
Bailey said the District Mural Program is her opportunity to connect with more artists and do something she’s never done before. It’s exciting to see her portrait work, which has garnered awards from ESPN and a recent residency in Brewster, NY translate into a large-scale mural in Memphis.
