Jet Bailey, Artist
Specialising in figurative painting and motorcycle art
Stoke and Bear Art was born out of a huge passion for painting and love of all things Motorcycle related, and runs alongside Stoke and Bear Motorcycles (custom motorcycle builds).
I have a BA(hons) in Fine Art and specialise in oil painting. I also have a Master's Degree in Art Therapy and have exhibited my paintings at a number of shows around the world.
My current body of work aims to explore and reflect on the contrast between the beauty of femininity, and the more masculine trends of motorcycle culture and fashion.
Through my paintings, I aim to explore how motorcycle culture is becoming more diverse, and whether this is beginning to translate into a stronger sense of community and freedom. In the words of Esperanza Miyake 'it’s not bikes that engender you; it’s people who do all that'.
