A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Baker studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and had lessons with Hugh Breckenridge, Arthur Charles, and André Lhote. She was active as a teacher at the Bryn Mawr School for Girls in Baltimore, from 1929 to 1937; St. Timothy's School in Catonsville, from 1931 to 1945; and American University, from 1945 to 1983. In 1935 she received a prize from the Washington Society of Independent Artists, and in 1945 she received one from the Baltimore Museum of Art; in 1926 she won a fellowship gold medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The Brooklyn Museum and the Phillips Collection are among museums holding examples of Baker's work.[1] Among her pupils was Willem De Looper.[2] Baker's papers are housed at the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution.[3]
