” Wildlife art has always come naturally to me, I have been fascinated by
both art and the outdoors for as long as I can remember.” ~Brandon Bailey

From as early as he can remember Brandon Bailey has had an immense interest in art.  From doing pencil drawings as a child and teenager, Brandon built a foundation which would lead into to a career as a fine artist.

While in high school Bailey was commissioned by the Game and Fish of Wyoming to create drawings for their hunting regulations that are published worldwide.  During working with the game and fish, Brandon began to show his work at outdoor shows.  In 2010 while attending college, Brandon was invited to participate in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show and Sale, where he enjoyed a sellout show.  This first major show has propelled Bailey’s career as a full time western and wildlife artist.

In his work, Bailey tries to harmonize bold, loose brushstrokes with detailed focal points.  He paints subjects that he knows firsthand-whether it is a close encounter with a bull elk or being flung into the air by a cantankerous rodeo bull, those life experiences grant him the knowledge needed to render his subjects with the utmost integrity.
