Hailey believes art is a love language. She feels that spending time on the land and water helps us build deeper relationships with the places we love and, in turn, inspires us to protect them. Through her art, she hopes people can feel some of the same joy and awe that inspire her and feel a little closer to their own precious places, too.

Outside of art, Hailey loves traveling, exploring whitewater in her kayak, backcountry skiing, and scrambling around rocks and alpine meadows. She’s also a reader, a terrible knitter, and a creative cook who admits she’s not very good at following recipes.
