Baker Artist Portfolios

With my retirement and relocation from Chicago to Maryland, I have time to seriously pursue a life-long interest in art, photography, and art history. As I develop/refine my skills in pen/ink, graphite/colored pencil, photography and photo processing, 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 both a series of watercolors and a photography portfolio about that experience. I also find myself drawn to capturing the political scene, personalities, and conflict. I joined the Maryland Portrait Society, the Oxford Art Alliance and the Hartford Art Association. My works are and have been on display in the HAA Gallery in Bel Air, the Arts by the Bay Gallery in Havre de Grace, the 220 Gallery in Havre de Grace, and in the Liriodendron Mansion in Bel Air. As for my formal training, I received a BA in Studio Art from Moravian University, Bethlehem, PA.
