Painting New to Artclectic
Margaret Baker is a painter of people, memories, and the moments-in-between. She is inspired by stories that can be told through images. “The images I paint are often mundane but have a warmth of familiarity and nostalgia.”
Working with oil paint on canvas, Margaret's goal is to capture familiar moments and memories. References for her paintings come from her old family snapshots and from a collection of junk shop finds.
“Many of my paintings have the shades of green of the soft grass and dappled sunlight that I remember from childhood in Connecticut,” she explains. “I love elevating these forgotten and thrown away moments into fine art oil paintings.”
