David Baker’s paintings go beyond the typical still life or interior by telling a story or by capturing a familiar moment in everyday life. He uses ordinary objects, carefully placed in intricate compositions to draw us into the story. We sense a human presence—one that stepped outside the room just a moment ago. One never tires of trying to imagine the story behind the painting.
Baker moved to Maine In 2000. Formerly from Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania, he holds a degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and has received numerous grants, awards, and exhibitions outside the state of Maine. Baker’s works are included in the United States Mint, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Rohm and Haas Corporation and several private collections.
