Virginia Baker was born in Texas in 1933. She began to fulfill a lifetime dream of studying art in 1993 when she entered the prestigious Glassell School of Art whom is also affiliated with the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. She developed a love for watercolors, embracing her emotions and movements to create an abstract image of her inner spirit.
“I am an abstract artist that expresses emotion, movement and action. I am led by watercolor magic as the paint and water begin to mix and flow across the paper. I paint - -mostly- -”Wet into Wet”. My work has been described as vibrant, uplifting and joyful. That is my goal each time I approach the paper. The medieval symbol that follows my signature on every painting represents “Mind, Body, Soul”.”
-Virginia Baker
