Kracken Art and Flow

09/09/2023

Hi There,

If you're new to my page. I'm Hailey McCracken and I'm the creator and founder of Kracken Art and Flow. I've been doing art for over a decade But I recently got into live painting about 5 years ago. Since stepping into the festival music world, I've been shown love, kindness and generosity. My goal with my art, art galleries, fire performances, or any type of interaction out at a gig is to just create a safe and inviting space for people to be who they are.

I use my art to heal myself, and all I hope is that when people experience my art they feel a little bit better than before. My art has my heart and soul in it and I give everything I have to the creative process.

Some fun facts about me!
I was a pastry chef for 5 years as well as a sous chef for 3 years.
I absolutely love roller skating.
I haven't had normal colored hair in over 15 years.

Welcome to my page! I do take commissions so if you're ever looking for any art please reach out, or catch me out at a gig slanging paint.

Much love everyone! 💓💓💓💓

Last night was amazing getting to paint with C-Level and Jimkata . I sold two pieces, one of them was too a beautiful birthday girl and the second was to a dad that came up to me before the show and said his daughter would absolutely adore this sign. I love it too, but I sold it to him because I'm always a safe space and will gladly make a new sign 💚

Please Help Me:

I need 4 songs to splice together for a 6 minute fire performance with dragon staff, contact staff and Levi wand.

Give me 4 songs you'd mix together for a fire performance. Please comment the song name and artist so I can look them up.
Thank you much love 💚💚💚💚

Last night's Sip & Paint w/Hailey McCracken was so amazing. We SOLD it out and everyone had such a good time. I myself and am eternally grateful for the opportunity to teach others how to paint and possibly spark some new inspiration and creativity. Thank you all so much for choosing to spend your Saturday evening with me.
Huge shout out to for allowing me the space 💚

The surgery went well. My radial tunnel and tennis elbow were compressed 90% each, so they opened up the cavity through which the nerves go through so they weren't compressed anymore. I'm feeling pretty good. The pain is about a six or a seven but I know it'll decrease as the days go on and I keep doing my physical therapy. I'll be back to spinning for, painting and playing piano soon!

Catch me slanging paint just a few days before my surgery at this amazing event with The Groovy Roots and Dustin Smith and The Daydreamers.

Hey Ya'll I don't usually do things like this but I'm kinda stuck,
Soooooooooo......
If you take the chance to read this thank you!

When you're young no one prepares you for when your body could just give up on you and I am fighting to not give up on my dreams of being involved in the scene as an artist, musician, and safe space. Hopefully this surgery will improve my quality of life!
I have organized a GoFundMe to try and raise some money for when I get my Radial and lateral epicondylitis release surgeries in my left arm December 17th. I am super anxious because my surgeon wants me to take 4 months off and I only have enough time accrued to take 2 weeks!
I am trying to raise enough money to take off for a month to a month and a half. I know as Christmas approaches this might be difficult but anything helps! If yo uwant some art in return for a donation just message me 🙂. Please Share this post if you can't donate, thank you again, I appreciate you all.
Much Love 🥰🥰🥰
