Aliana Grace Bailey was born and raised in DC. She is a interdisciplinary artist, graphic designer, educator, and passionate advocate for radical self-love and wellness. Since a child, she has loved experimenting in her “studio”, sewing pillows by hand, and dreamed of seeing her art on fabric.
In 2014, she graduated from NC A&T State University, where she double-majored, earning a Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Art in Visual Arts Media Design. Aliana credits her experience in NC A&T’s Visual Art department as the place she discovered who she was and what she is capable of as a quiet creator and leader.
Aliana first began teaching art in 2011 and has since worked with all age groups ranging from toddlers to seniors, in various environments, from afterschool art programs to hospice care. In 2017, she completed the Art for Social Impact fellowship at The Sanctuaries and became a socially-engaged teaching artist. In May 2020, Aliana earned her MFA in Community Arts and a Certificate in the College Teaching of Art from Maryland Institute College of Art. During graduate school, she found a new love in helping people move through the grief process and has been a grief support advocate for over three years in Baltimore City.
After nine years of experience as a professional artist and graphic design freelancer, she has learned a lot about her purpose, what she needs to be her best self, what doesn’t align, and what it truly means to honor her nature. vibrant grace studio is the embodiment.
By practicing vulnerability, self-love, and empathy, she hopes to inspire the same in others. Aliana strives to give people a sense of joy, healing, and a reminder of how to love—themselves and the world.
