Sandi Baker

Artist Sandi Baker continually experiments with mediums and themes, but her work always comes back to wildlife. With a fierce love of the natural world, she has painted original large-scale acrylic portraits of wild creatures since 1991. She believes her work to be a meditation, an inspiration of oneness with creation, and she hopes to bring the personality of her subjects to the viewer while drawing attention to endangered wildlife.

Carefully studying her animal subjects, Sandi has worked closely with many wild animal sanctuaries throughout her career. Her work, ranging from stylized and abstract to nearly photorealistic, has a collector base that spans the globe. Specializing in freehand airbrush techniques using acrylics, she also incorporates brushes, sponges, and other tools, working mainly on hand-stretched canvas but also using metals and leather as substrates. Married to fellow artist JW Baker, she continues to paint, and the couple share venues together.
