Baker Artist Portfolios

The city I was raised and live in, Baltimore, shapes my practices in mixed media illustration usually in smaller formats such as on mirrors or paper, but most recently I've begun working on murals. The themes of my work are based in the protection of community relics, healing interpersonal trauma, and the belief that healing oneself is also a way to engage in community healing. I often reclaim objects that I find in my community or home, re purposing them as canvases, frames, or characters within my work to illustrate to viewer's that the accessibility to heal a community often lies in finding new ways to re purpose or establish community resources. As a part of my work, this emphasis of accessibility often entails researching other communities and bringing that knowledge back to my own.
