\"piece<\/a>
Berlin<\/em>, 2006
Acrylic on canvas
Gift of the artist, 2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n \n<\/div>\n


\n  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Southern California artist Hilary Baker lives and works in her hometown of Los Angeles. The artist’s work sits daringly along the line between abstraction and figuration; the abstract shapes found in Baker’s work resemble natural elements found in our modern world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baker received her Bachelor of Arts at University of California at Los Angeles and pursued her Master of Fine Arts at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Motifs of natural elements, such as rubble, blocks, stone and boulders, tie the artist’s work together.  Baker commented on this, stating that she found “intrinsic elegance” in everyday objects.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baker’s painting in the Escalette Collection of Art titled, Berlin<\/em>, was gifted to Chapman University by the artist in 2008.  Painted in 2006, this piece comes from Hilary Baker’s series titled “Masonry.”<\/p>\n
