Baker Artist Portfolios

With my retirement and relocation from Chicago to Maryland, I have time to seriously pursue a life-long interest in art and art history. As I develop/refine my skills in pen/ink, graphite/colored pencil, and oil/watercolor painting, I am creating life studies, portraits, and plein air paintings. My subject matter is wide, as I continue to explore my new avocation. Recently, I am reflecting on my tour of duty in Vietnam War and have started a series of watercolors about that experience. I also find myself drawn to capturing the political scene, personalities, and conflict. I joined the Maryland Portrait Society and the Harford Art Association, and, in the HAA gallery Bel Air, my works are on display. On occasion my art been shown in the Oxford Art Alliance gallery, the Artist Emporium gallery (now closed), and the Bel Air Liriodendron mansion. As for my formal training, I received a BA in Studio Art from Moravian University, Bethlehem, PA.
