Will J Bailey is an English painter and photographer based in London.

Will's paintings explore the concept of sacredness, drawing on portraiture, the enigmatic iconography of early Netherlandish, and the sensual decoration of art nouveau to create a distinctive visual style that is playful, mysterious and beautiful.

His candid photographs explore the engaging characters and curious beauty of the built environment, and the latent stories that emerge from where they intersect.

Will has been making handmade sketchbooks since 2018. With a focus on strong design, an eye for fine detail and using the very best materials, he has sold many hundreds of books to satisfied artist customers all over the world.

Will also runs a popular YouTube channel specialising in the more technical aspects of art practice.
