My current body of work transforms abstract human organs into representations of various emotional states, which are exaggerated by mental disorders. This subject matter holds a personal resonance for me, as my intense emotional experiences have sometimes posed challenges interacting with others.

Lyrin Bailey is a Long Island-based artist whose work dives deep into the realms of folklore and myth, capturing the essence of worlds both ancient and arcane. Her art, at once dark and whimsical, seeks to illuminate the seen and unseen, inviting viewers into spaces filled with enchantment, symbolism, and mystery. Every piece she creates aims to weave a story—one that feels both bewitching and enlightening. With a versatile skill set, Lyrin masterfully blends various styles, including Fine-Line minimalism, Neo-traditional, Art Nouveau, Watercolor, and Sacred Geometry. Her subject matter spans an impressive spectrum, from deities of legend and figures of myth to botanicals, elements of nature, and the subtle echoes of pop culture. Whether tattooed on the body or displayed on a wall, her work embodies both the tactile beauty of art and a connection to the mystical. As a professional tattoo artist, Lyrin has committed her career to bringing forth the magical and the mysterious into the tangible world. She approaches each piece with meticulous attention to detail, layering symbolism and care to craft works that resonate with those who seek a deeper connection to the unknown. Her artistry is not just a profession—it’s a mission to conjure these narratives and offer them to others as sources of wonder, reflection, and exploration. Lyrin’s creative journey is rooted in a lifelong drive to bring dreams and distant realms into reality. Her art confronts the macabre and explores the unknown, using allegorical storytelling to blend the natural with the celestial and the known with the veiled. By intertwining reality with the edges of imagination, she challenges her audience to look beyond what is readily apparent and question what lies beyond our immediate perception. She invites you, the traveler, to delve into the wonders of these hidden realms, knowing full well that each journey may reveal insights you hadn’t anticipated. Enter this world of shadows and light with caution—for once you have glimpsed it, you may never see the world the same way again.
