Baker Artist Portfolios

With an extensive career spanning almost three decades as a high school art educator in both Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools, my commitment to fostering creativity goes beyond the classroom. Outside of academic settings, my love for art seamlessly intertwines with personal pursuits, manifesting in immersive experiences with both artistic expression and nature, particularly in my endeavors of gardening, landscaping and story writing.

In my artistic endeavors, I find inspiration in the exploration of found objects, assembling them into intricate and captivating images. My process involves meticulously connecting these objects, akin to assembling a puzzle, resulting in a final image that is not only visually striking but also securely held together with surgical precision.

An integral aspect of my work is the fascination it instills in those who view it. Observers often take the time to explore the individual components that contribute to the overall picture, experiencing a mesmerizing and hypnotic effect. Witnessing this engagement is immensely rewarding for me.

I draw my creative inspiration from profound themes deeply anchored in human dedication, the exquisite beauty of nature, and a sincere reflection of the aspects I cherish. Each piece serves as a narrative, intricately weaving stories inspired by these elements. I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the captivating tales intricately woven into the tapestry of my creations.
