Portrait of an artist - Fran Bailey

Art Fayre 2011 is on the horizon (June 11 and 12), and in the months and weeks leading up to the show, our blog will be featuring profiles of many of our talented participating artists. Check back regularly for updates!

Today's Art Fayre artist is Fran Bailey, of Vankleek Hill, Ontario. Fran has lived, painted and exhibited in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Her usual medium is watercolour and she especially enjoys painting subtly stylized house portraits, often as commissioned works.

Here are some samples of her gorgeous paintings...
