I am absolutely thrilled to announce an upcoming opportunity for you to see my work in person!
Big Works, Shared Spaces
Juried Group Exhibition
March 1, 2026 - April 25, 2026
The Gallery @ Trades Mill
6 Chestnut St, 2nd Floor
Amesbury, MA 01913
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 1 from 4-6pm.
Piece Included
Sleepless at Dawn, Acrylic on Canvas, 30x40" by Bailey Campbell and Simone Campbell

This work will be available for purchase through the gallery during the duration of the exhibition.
By now I'm sure most of you know that I've been slowly building a collaborative collection with my daughter, Simone, that explores the complexity of motherhood and postpartum. It’s a storm filled with endless beauty and overflowing joy, but there’s also a raw wildness and intense loss of control - of your body, your time, your space, your relationships, your everything. I’ve been pouring my heart into variations of stormy skyscapes on canvas, before passing the “completed” paintings to Simone, who adds a personal touch of her own with no limitations other than the use of POSCA paint pens. Some may feel that this ruins the work, but I hope to challenge the viewer to internalize that discomfort and inspect it. Lose yourself in the chaos and inconsistency that is the experience, and find the beauty in childish innocence within the storm of adult emotion.
When I saw the call for art come through for The Gallery @ Trades Mill's Big Works, Shared Spaces show, it seemed like a perfect fit for the largest of these works. I'm honored to have had one of the pieces accepted!
If you're interested in kicking off the show with me, please feel welcome to attend the opening reception on Sunday, March 1st from 4-6pm.
I hope to see you there! XX Bailey
