CV
Born in Denver, Alicia Bailey has always lived in Colorado, currently maintaining a studio and residence in the Denver metro area. She received her BFA in Studio Arts with an emphasis in printmaking and photography from the University of Colorado. Bailey has worked as a studio artist since then in a variety of two- and three-dimensional media.For the past twelve years, she has focused on the book form. A familiarity with many materials is invaluable to her approach to the book as interactive sculpture. Expanding the conceptual definition of 'book', she often works with non-traditional materials such as glass, porcelain and steel, although for practical purposes most of her limited edition work relies on more traditional book materials and structures. Alicia Bailey has achieved national recognition in this field and works as a visiting artist and instructor throughout the United States. Her work has been exhibited in 35 solo and over 100 group exhibitions in the US, Ireland, Austria, Mexico, England and Canada.
