As a professional watercolor artist Linda Baker, is intrigued by the gentle translucence of nature. She considers her work to be a contemporary approach to traditional subject matter. Striving to simplify the complicated while seeing the unique in the ordinary, she captures the essence of gentle scenes with harmonious strokes.

Artist Statement “Capturing the extraordinary light that transforms a subject almost to abstraction is a main objective in creating my watercolors. My love of white and the soft nuances of gray along with the richness of earth tones make up my subtle palette. As a full time artist, I create original, reproduce a line of giclees, and limited edition prints, as well as teaching several workshops a year.”

Linda Baker's paintings appear in the Best of Watercolor by Rockport publishing and Artistic Touch 2 & 3, as well as Artistic Touch 4 coming out this summer. Her work is featured in Pouring Light by Northlight, the Best of Watermedia by Kennedy Publishing, and will be included in Splash 12. She has been featured in American Artist, The Artist Magazine, Watercolor Basics, the Watercolor Magazine, and The Palette Magazine. Baker's affiliations include Watercolor West, San Diego International, Adirondacks, National Watercolor Society, and the American Watercolor Society. She will be producing a video of her watercolors this spring. She resides between Michigan and North Carolina with her husband Ray and her cat Sammy.

Linda Baker has two watercolor DVD workshops with Creative Catalyst Productions Layers of Design in Watercolor and No Fear (Fearless) Watercolor: Layering and Color.
