Skye Bailey | Artist Statement
Halloween joy IS my wellness.
As a socially engaged multidisciplinary artist, creative director, and wellness facilitator, I use the language of Halloween to help individuals and teams transform emotional residue (stress, anxiety, and burnout) into sources of reflection, resilience, and creative expression.
My practice spans experimental animation, conceptual art, digital and new media, AI storytelling, and performance art, often blending narrative, symbolism, and movement to create emotionally resonant spaces that reframe conversations around mental health, collective healing, and joy.
Rooted in joy and powered by imagination, this work reaches diverse audiences across generations and industries. Particularly for communities historically left out of traditional wellness or art spaces, as well as for creative professionals who often feel misunderstood: the quiet ones, the deep feelers, the misfits, the overachievers, the geeks, and the dreamers. From those thriving externally but longing for inner expression, to those seeking a sense of belonging, my art offers a place to explore vulnerability with creativity and care. A world where horror becomes a mirror, joy becomes rebellion, and healing becomes a shared, creative act.
