Medium:
Painting “I’m drawn to people, their expressions, and nostalgia of the past,” says Margaret Baker, a working artist for the past eight years. “I paint moments-in-between, the mundane moments that take on significance when they are gone. I love the idea of taking a thrown away memory and elevating to an oil painting.
“The references for my paintings come from family photos from my own history and from those I collect.”
Get to know Margaret better:
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named?
“The Good Tea”
It’s a painting of two woman talking. It’s a mundane image but while I was painting it, it started to seem their conversation was conspiratorial or had some hot gossip.
If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
Only in skill and vision, not them as a person, I would choose Mary Cassatt. I relate to how she saw woman and family, elevating simple moments into beautiful paintings.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
Art Institute of Chicago. I could spend days in the “modern” art wings.
