Candace L. Bailey (b. 1982) was born in the South, moved around, and traveled extensively. This American/Caymanian artist, with a rebellious temperament, took to her first 35mm camera at the age of 13. Since witnessing her initial print emerge in her makeshift darkroom at the age of 15, Bailey was captivated by the camera's ability to metamorphose her preconceptions into something profound and intricate - Silver, Burned, Developed.
In 2008, Candace Bailey graduated from Texas State University, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Photographic Imaging. Amidst getting her degree, the world seemed to instantaneously switch from chemicals and enlargers to inkjet printing labs and computers. With the digital age quickly approaching, she decided to further her education before moving back to Grand Cayman. In 2012, she earned her Master of Fine Art degree in Fine Art Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where her primary focus was photography with a multidisciplinary approach to print-making.
Candace Bailey currently works and resides in the Cayman Islands, where she runs her own artisan studio, Black Sheep Studio (est. 2013).
