Susan Baker

Susan Baker has been a part of the Provincetown art community since the late 60's. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), she became one of the first fellows of Provincetown's Fine Arts Work Center. Baker developed a following and reputation for her " Humorous Art" in paper mache while also developing artist books, including "A History of Provincetown". Her personal evolutionary process brought her to Europe where she began to paint cityscapes. This led to an affinity for architecture, which can be seen in her elaborately constructed and painted frames which are integrated with her paintings. Her mission is to draw the viewer in to the work so they may experience the intimate sensations of being in the environment of her painting, whether that is a cafe in France, or sailing on a Gondola in Venice.
