Scarlett Baily

Scarlett Baily is a Chicana muralist, painter, and illustrator based in Mexico City.
Her work is an exploration and celebration of popular culture.
Since receiving her B.A. in History of Art and Architecture from the University of California, Santa Barbara, she has lent her talents to both the fashion and art worlds in London, Tokyo, Barcelona, Los Angeles, New York, Bogotá, and Mexico City.

She draws upon her own multicultural upbringing to tackle issues of identity, heritage, and belonging. Working in large scale and often in public, her mission is to preserve diversity in the era of globalization. She believes that her illustrated wonderlands can inspire connections to their spaces of encounter. The long sinuous lines and gestural minimalism recall her fashion background while giving a nod to urban art and mid-century publicity of the metropolis.

Her work can be seen from Madison Avenue NYC to the outdoor walls of the largest market in the world, Central de Abastos in Mexico City. She has been recently inaugurated into the Society of Caricature Artists of México, where she is contributing illustrator for Design Hunter Magazine and Director of Galería La Optica, an alternative space exhibiting female artists.
