Bailey Rios
Bailey Rios is an 18 year old Bay Area painter and illustrator. For them art is an expression of self as well as an expression for the lack of self. They tend to work in the genre of “Unknown” which to them is a wide variety of visionary/surrealistic art works to completely abstract works. They love creating conversations about their art, as it is made to allow others to see from their perspectives, as well as let them see from their perspectives and interpretations. To sum up their description, they love art and need to make it.
