Brenda Baker has a
passion for the process of creating functional and decorative pieces in
traditional shapes. Her love for nature is often found in her designs
with ivy carved or cut out on many of her pieces and this has come to be
her trademark. She uses a dark clay and white slip as the base for
her carvings and spends many hours creating intricate designs. She
has overcome a lot of adversity in her life to continue her artistic
endeavors including the loss of her husband, the onset of MS, and the
loss of her studio in a hurricane. At the time I interviewed her, she
had just broken her leg in 7 places by falling out of a tree while
trimming limbs. But, she's back to the studio and creating new works.
You'll enjoy her interview and the positive outlook she has on life and
art.
