BIO

Paula Baker, a native New Yorker and fourth-generation artist, has cultivated her artistic journey through prestigious institutions such as Professional Children’s School, High School of Art and Design, Art Students League, and Art Center College of Design in California. Now based in Portland, Oregon, she operates a brick-and-mortar art gallery with ample space for her working studio.

Her current body of works reflects a lifetime spent immersed in various creative fields including graphic design, fashion design & illustration and interior and landscape design as well as decades of experience as a commissioned oil portrait painter. Her collections range from Figurative Art to Urban Landscapes, each of which are a testament to the synthesis of these diverse influences. Paula's sophisticated application of vivid color, stylized compositions, and the interplay of textures and patterns create a dramatic interplay of light, showcasing the beauty of nature alongside the human form.
