Ian Baker is an American artist living in southeastern Wisconsin. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Painting and has since shown her work in solo and group exhibits and is in numerous collections.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mostly known for her landscape work, Ian explores memories and impressions of the natural world through her gestural paintings.\u00a0 Usually, not of one specific place, her work is more a composite of memories and feelings experienced while traveling throughout the United States as well as Ireland, England, and other places.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Using layers of paint to create a sense of atmosphere or emotion, her work is sometimes infused with highly saturated color for an additional impact of time and place.\u00a0 Her use of color sometimes rings out at maximum intensity. While not explicitly true to life, her palette is more of a conversation and interaction between space, line, color, and texture, which impact her compositions. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\r\nWisconsin based painter Ian Marie Baker has participated in numerous exhibitions throughout the years primarily to include juried and group shows. She continues to work out of her studio in Milwaukee.\r\n\r\nAfter receiving a BFA in studio painting, Ian continued to study at various other art institutions and with other professional artists. Always wanting to expand her focus, she currently includes works with oils, acrylics, cold wax and other mediums on paper, canvas and board.\r\n\r\nIan's work is a unique process oriented expression sometimes referencing a place but oftentimes simply referencing an experience.
