She has made drawings in many places and on many surfaces throughout her career and last year COVID propelled her into building a studio in her garden to finally have the space to focus on drawing, entirely. In a career spanning four decades, Baker has been widely commissioned, including by Women of the World Festival and the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. In 2019, La Casa Encendida in Madrid held a retrospective of Baker’s work, Tarros de Chutney. As part of this, Baker launched her new project: EPIC DOMESTIC – a Domestic Revolutionary Party fit for the Twenty First Century. Dr. Sarah Lightman (Artist and Writer ) Dr. Sarah Lightman is a London-based artist and writer, and Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. She studied at Central St Martin’s, The Slade School of Fine Art and the University of Glasgow. For the last 20 years her research and artwork has focussed on women’s visual memoirs.
