Patty Bailey has lived in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, for most of her life and now resides in Linden with her partner, Jack, and their two dogs, Abbey and Scooby.
Working primarily in acrylics, Patty paints landscapes, wildlife, and rural scenes inspired by the beauty of north-central Pennsylvania. A recent passion for hiking has led her to explore local forests, streams, and waterfalls, where she photographs the places that become the inspiration for her paintings. Her painting Jacoby Falls grew directly from one of those adventures.
About four years ago, Patty joined Art Post Awareness, a veterans program that combines art instruction and peer support for veterans living with PTSD. Through the program, she developed her skills as an artist and discovered the healing power of creativity.
Patty strives to create paintings that invite viewers into the scene, allowing them to pause, appreciate the beauty around them, and experience the quiet moments found in nature.
