Artist bio:
Hailey Quick’s work is influenced from her upbringing in rural South Louisiana. Personal struggles with trauma, along with her background in science, guide her image making. Utilizing both the figure and native Louisiana animals in her compositions, Hailey’s lithographs and etchings depict a complex personal narrative through a surreal lens. Hailey received her Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Lafayette, LA) and her Master of Fine Art in Printmaking from Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS).

About:
Hi There!
My name is Hailey and I am a fine artist and professional living in Chicago. Cajun Country in South Louisiana is my roots and holds the main inspiration to my work. I enjoy the processes of lithography and intaglio as much as I love crawfish and gumbo. I’m a nature lover and feel as comfortable on the trails as I do in the studio! Hope you enjoy my work!

Interested in purchasing my work:
My main focus is printmaking, printmaking is the process of producing fine art prints -meaning each piece is an original. Edition sizes vary. Once an edition is finished, depending on the process, the image is retired and original prints are no longer able to be pulled. So certain editions are limited. I try to have my work available to purchase at everyone’s price point and so offer quality reproductions of my work in addition to my originals. Be sure to check out the fun accessories I offer to add to your collection.
