Fascinated by the intricacies of life’s meaning, Bay begins a quest for truth and understanding, recognizing that the pursuit leads to infinite possibilities and revelations. This exploration of the human condition fuels Bay’s creative process, driving her to create paintings that delve into themes of pain, pleasure, memory, and the essence of being.

I tell a glimpse of a story of someone’s life experience by painting figures in their intimate space surrounded by something that relates to their tale. I am inclined to paint in oil and am most drawn to a large canvas as it helps me express myself freely.
The meaning of being humans and our existence has always pondered my mind with questions and fascination. Searching for the ultimate truth, if that exists, or answers can lead to infinite possibilities and more mysteries. That and our stories ignite me to create paintings about life experiences, pain, pleasure, and memories.
