Getting To Know <strong>Tammy</strong><br />

<strong>Bailey</strong><br />

What has been an unexpected barrier and how<br />

did you overcome it?<br />

Honestly, it’s that inner critic. That little voice in<br />

my head that I often need to correct. But at 59,<br />

I spent too many years worrying about what<br />

other people have thought about me. I’ve<br />

learned to ask for help in all areas of my life. To<br />

trust my inner strength and intuition.<br />

If you could choose to meet anyone for lunch<br />

who would it be?<br />

I would choose my mother from whom I<br />

inherited my creative and artistic talents. I<br />

would love to compare notes. and ask her<br />

why she never pursued them as I<br />

understand how healing the artistic journey<br />

has been for me and how sharing my art<br />

gives me such great joy. Most of all just to<br />

give her a big hug and say thank you.<br />

What is the best advice you have ever<br />

received?<br />

It’s difficult two isolate it to one particular<br />

piece of advice. However, in art, the best<br />

piece of advice I ever received was to create<br />

a space that was dedicated to creating art.<br />

Thank you, Ellen Bradley Cheung.<br />

What is something surprising about you that<br />

most people don’t know?<br />

I’ve been sober for more than 17 years. But<br />

that’s a whole other story.<br />

What is your key strength?<br />

I believe that I am tenacious. Also, I’ve learned<br />

to ask for help. It is difficult to grow in a<br />

vacuum. And I have a wonderful community of<br />

women who mentor me in life. Be it in art,<br />

friendship, spirituality, emotional, or through<br />

other activities. A wonderful husband, children,<br />

grandchildren, and pets. This is my strength<br />

and support.<br />

When have you been most satisfied in life?<br />

I choose today, to live in gratitude. I have not<br />

always been grateful but today I am! With<br />

gratitude comes huge satisfaction! And I have<br />

my art!<br />

What you would like to learn?<br />

In no particular order; professional<br />

photography, playing the flute, kayaking<br />
