Haley's Story

Originally From “The Land Of Enchantment”, Haley Moved To Tennessee At The Age Of Four. Art Has Always Been An Important Aspect Of Haley’s Life; She Recalls Laying On The Floor Starring At Shadows Or Looking Intently At People’s Facial Features And Recognizing That There Are Shades Of Color Not Just Lines That Form Their Faces As A Little Girl. When She Was Only Eight Years Old, She Actually Sent A Piece Of Art With A Maze To Her Birth Mom Asking To Come Find Her And Not Be Scared.

Though She Is Primarily Self-Taught, Haley Has Honed And Refined Her Natural, God-Gifted Talent Through Formal Training At The Milan Art Institute. Haley Initially Began Her Professional Career With Watercolor Illustrations And Graphic Design. She Now Focuses On Fine Art With Mixed Media Techniques, Which Beautifully Blends Together Inks, Charcoal, Acrylics, Oils, And Even More Mediums Into Intentionally Crafted, Intimate Masterpieces.

Just Like How She Used Art To Reach Out To Her Birth Mom To Help Conquer Both Her Own Fear And Any Potential Fear Her Mom Might Have In Contacting Her, Haley Hopes To Inspire Others Through Her Artwork To Help Them Conquer Their Fears By Placing Them In A Blissful Utopia. Haley’s Desire Is To Turn People‘s Biggest Weaknesses Into Their Most Powerful Strengths Through Her Artwork. Just As A Caterpillar Must Struggle And Strive Within The Chrysalis To Undergo Its Transformation To A Beautiful Butterfly, Haley Attempts To Bring Her Audience Through That Same Metamorphosis When They Look At Her Paintings.

“Art Transforms You. It Shines Light On The Dark Places Of Your Heart And Sends Warmth To Your Fingers And Toes. Art Turns The Fearful Into The Brave.” - Haley Nicely

Haley Currently Works From Her Art Studio In The Tennessee Valley Overlooking The Pristine Holston River. She Also Works As A Master Highlighter For Master’s Editions Fine Art Gallery In The Mountainous Region Of Pigeon Forge Where She Gains Further Inspiration For Her Own Artwork. When She’s Not Painting, You Can Find Her Singing With Her Beautiful God-Gifted Voice Or Spending Time With Her Husband, Family, And Her Four Fur Babies Chief, Willow, Atlas, And Aria.
