Collection: Lauren Baker

I’m a painter living in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. A hiker, trail runner, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover, I find inspiration for my painting in nature.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley. My family instilled a love of nature early on in my life, and it’s only increased as I’ve gotten older. All of my memories are steeped in the Hudson Valley’s hills, creeks, rivers, woods, and fields.

I’m inspired by the Impressionist and Expressionist painters of the past. I work with both photos and my own memories, using color, light, movement, and texture to illustrate a memory or feeling of a particular place or time within nature.

When I feel as if I can walk right into the painting and stay for a while, I know the painting is complete.
