Gretchen Baer (born 1963, Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts) is a noted American painter and performance artist living in Bisbee, Arizona.
Baer is known for painting mile-long murals on the southern side of the US-Mexico border fence in collaboration with a group of Mexican children known as the "Border Bedazzlers."[1][2][3]
Baer is also known for her art cars, including the "Hill Car" which features a large portrait of Hillary Clinton on the hood of an 1989 Toyota,[4] [5][6] [7], and the "Fortune Telling Lion". [8] During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Baer founded the Hillary Clinton Army, raising money for the presidential candidate.[9]
