holiday woodcuts

This exhibition featured Elizabeth Bailey’s holiday woodcuts, which have a distinctly Italian flavor. A Georgia native and an art history professor at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, Bailey has studied art in Cortona and Florence, Italy, and has recently begun to study art in England, France and Germany. The Italian influence on her holiday prints is evident not only in such titles as “Ave Maria Grazia Plena,” but also in subject, composition and style. Bailey has exhibited her work throughout the United States and in Italy.
