Baker Artist Portfolios

This is an evolution of my Baker award-winning  exploration of visual effects techniques used as a fine art medium. The repeated erosion and layering of commercial signage on a billboard that has been in use for many years, but fallen into decay, revealing many layers of different images like tree rings or Strata in a rock, was the inspiration visually. However, the time is fast forwarded so we can watch the process evolve. It is a meditation on impermanence and the beauty of chance. NO AI WAS USED, only traditional visual effects techniques that I learned working on movies and TV. 

My art and trips to Maine

For the past 25 years, I have made it a tradition to take an annual trip to Maine, dedicating a week or two each year to quiet solitude with my art. The primary aim of these retreats was to provide uninterrupted time away from family and work obligations, allowing me to focus exclusively on my creative pursuits. Each journey typically began with visits to museums and galleries along the way, followed by settling into a chosen inn where I could immerse myself in artmaking for the remainder of the trip.

“Back East,” was an exhibition of works by Erin Stellmon and Rahne Alexander at Current Space in Baltimore, MD. These two Baltimore-based artists whose origin stories begin on the West Coast of the United States: Alexander in California and Stellmon in Oregon. “Back East” emerges from a series of conversations between the artists about their independent decisions to find home in Baltimore, breaking ties with myths deeply held by both family and nation about the promises of westward expansion.

Created by inspirational-soul artist, Maya Elizabeth, and holistic therapist, Dr. Kim Mayes, LCSW, "From M.E. to You" is a mental health concert experience that promotes community, wellness, and the healing power of music. On May 30, 2025, in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, Maya + Dr. Kim welcomed a packed house at ‪@motorhousebaltimore‬ for their 3rd event in this concert series.

When love weathers the storm and stands victorious, it deserves a song like All I Can Say - a deeply heartfelt anthem for couples who have fought through hardships and emerged stronger... together.

Having grown up in a community of strong women, Maya Elizabeth wrote Sister Song to amplify women’s voices. In a world wrought with debilitating comparison and unhealthy competition, this song is about empowering, uniting and protecting all sisters. This is Maya’s love letter to the circle that affirmed, supported and shaped her. That love now extends to sisters worldwide. When you hear the undeniably catchy hook, you’ll feel a fiery sense of confidence and power stir up--especially if you identify as a woman.
