Baker
Robin Baker is a mixed media artist and art instructor. She works in oils, encaustics, watercolours, pastels, and pen & ink. Her subjects vary - ranging from global landscapes to still lifes. Abstract works and the human figure remain her special interests. In 1995, through a collaborative project with Carleton University's School of Architecture, a unique building was designed and constructed to serve as Ms. Baker's art studio and as a place for workshops and special events held for the public and artistic community. When not painting or teaching, Ms.Baker actively works to promote the visual arts through special public awareness exhibits, demonstrations, and lectures. In 1998, Ms. Baker completed a 11' x 14' commission of seven painted masonite panels for the lobby entrance of Mosaid Technologies Incorportated of Kanata, Ont. Robin Baker has since completed several series of works inspired by her travels across Canada, and visits to New Mexico, Portugal, and Morocco. Education BFA Wayne State University and Centre for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan. Solo Exhibitions In Almonte, Detroit, Merrickville, and Windsor Group Exhibits In Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Detroit, Ann Arbour, Windsor, Almonte, Wakefield, Westport and Merrickville. Special group exhibits were with the International Breast Cancer and Ottawa University. Robin Baker has instructed classes in colour, drawing, and other forms of artistic creative expression through colleges and art galleries, as well as private workshops and lessons. In recent years, she has conducted week-end workshops at her studio focussing on special themes and exploring various aspects of creativity. " The subject matter and the way in which the images are produced, whether in oil, watercolour, graphite, or in a combination of materials- are not the primary concerns of my career as an artist. The exploration of finding "the image" and the exploration of using different mediums and materials is what challenges and excites me as a visual artist."
