Anne Dickson Bailey 

 Residence:  Chattanooga, Tennessee  

Art Career:  I began my college career pursuing Advertising; Communications. Remembering a childhood dream of becoming an Artist, I added, spontaneously, another major; Art; Graphic Design.  Once I began my art courses, however, I realized my love for the fine arts had far exceeded my interest in the corporate world, and I received my B.F.A. in Graphic Design from The University of Tennessee, Chattanooga in 1992.

Medium:  While pursuing my Art degree, an intense passion for sculpture was ignited within my soul. Immediately, I began a series of paintings combined with collage and sculptural elements.  Although I have a great respect for each artistic medium I utilize, I find it difficult at times to not combine them.

Thoughts:  It is my opinion for one to truly appreciate the good things in life, one must experience the opposite.  I have always been intrigued with opposites, and the constant struggle for these contrasting elements to coexist.  Good versus evil; harmony versus cacophony; and, joy versus sorrow are just a few integral components of my art.

Why I Create:  My intended effect is to illustrate this theorem using a combination of found objects, mixed media, and passion to reveal my faith in God’s promises.  My artistic goal is to present these truths in a unique and thought-provoking manner.
