The artist plans most of her designs, but employs intuitive brushwork. Only the China silks can achieve the luminosity and richness of colors with the finest French - 'Super Tin Fix' dyes. 'The Lines that delineate my images are painted with a Gutta resist.' Gutta-Serti is a japanese tree sap used as the resist. Her art reflects the beauty of nature and a sense of humor with life.
'Silk, unlike most materials, has a reflective surface that lends itself to the scenes that I paint. My art portrays images drawn from my imagination.' Carol Baker's hand painted collections have been featured in the finest galleries on the West Coast. The subjects vary from flowers and geometrics to seascapes and village scenes.
