Jane Bailey posted to a local Facebook group, asking for the public’s help in finding more pieces of her late father’s artwork.

Bailey has since posted to a Facebook group called “Kingston Sell it, Buy it, Trade it” asking for the public’s help in finding his artwork, which holds sentimental value to her and her family.
