Jennifer L. Baker

Celestial - Large white and pink minimalist abstract landscape painting

2025

Jennifer is an intuitive contemporary painter with studios in Italy and the USA. She considers herself a seeker of the light and captures it in all of her paintings. Her paintings are an ode to life, to becoming, and to majesty. They are a reminder to take a moment to release the trappings of the mundane, to look up, down, far, and close. To be still. Her work is the result of meditation, intuition, and sometimes a real or perceived memory. A walk in the rain. The sky at dusk. The sunrise. The lotus flowers on the lake. The flaming sun. Koi slow-dancing in the pond. The night sky over all of humanity... The ultimate mysteries of the universe. Her paintings are made to call you home. Home to yourself, to your own space of light. Her work is beckoning, instantaneous, and sensual. Her perspective is tactile and sensorial. She creates spaces that are sometimes dreamlike and sometimes reminiscent of the natural world. Jennifer’s work is inspired by a call of the wild. The reminder to stop and be exquisitely still. She earned my BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She is an awarded finalist at the Biennale di Genova in 2021. Her paintings have been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, and are part of private collections in 14 countries around the world. Several of her pieces were recently auctioned at the Orlando Museum of Fine Art. She splits her time between the majestic mountains of northern Italy and the high country in Colorado, and more recently a secluded lakeside cabin in the Ocala National Forest in Florida.
