Baker Artist Portfolios

I have enjoyed working in many different mediums as a designer and a teacher. These days, my media of choice are oil painting and ceramics. My work allows me to combine my interest in science and ecology with my desire to study complex natural forms and textures. Through the study and reinterpretation of natural forms and relationships, my process serves as a meditation on small pieces that comprise the delicate balance of life. As I collect new imagery and ideas over time, I am inspired to play with the connections I observe.

Though I have been a city-dweller for many years now, the seeds for what inspires me were first planted as I grew up around the woods, fields, and mountains of Virginia. Baltimore has been my home since 2010, and thankfully this city has its own share of natural beauty within and surrounding it as well. Here I have also found a community of inspiring artists and teachers, including those I met while living in the artist collective Pepto Palace, and while studying art and design at MICA and Towson University.
