Bio

Art runs through our veins in alizarin crimson...

We are mother and daughter lifetime artists, writers and instructors. We strive to share our inspirations from nature and to make a difference in the way you see it. Please stay a while and be sure to stop by again as our work changes with the seasons.

Our Bios

Beverly Baker
  • Beverly Baker is an Atlanta based multi-media artist whose work is included in the permanent collections of Fernbank Museum of Natural History and the High Museum of Art as well as in private and public collections including several recent acquisitions by Birgit and David McQueen and by J.Rutherford Seidel, II.

Starting out as a textile designer in NYC during the late sixties when all things new and groovy were happening there, she was one of the designers who created the exotic animal print movement. A love of patterns and natural resources continues to inspire her work in drawings, paintings, photography and most recently, print making.
Terrific new developments in archival printing techniques have enabled Beverly to use the computer to invent new spins on the representation of time honored flora and fauna. This mix of traditional painting and drawing techniques combined with computer generated effects creates unique images with new natural history stories to tell.
Beverly is active in the Atlanta arts community having served as a founding member on the boards of the Atlanta Photography Group, The High Museum of Art's Photo Forum, and as former Vice President and Chairman of the board of Art Papers as well as on the advisory board of the Hambidge Center of Georgia. Beverly's current projects include writing a mystery novel steeped in art history and exhibiting at Blue Heron Nature Preserve as well as the annual Art Papers Art Auction.

Holding a BA with Distinction in Art from the Colorado College, Christy began her career as an Exhibit Designer for Fernbank Museum of Natural History. Her illustrations for Field & Studio Productions, Ltd. have been published by Chronicle Books, the Nature Conservancy of Georgia, and the Journal American Rhododendron Society. She’s been awarded prestigious commissions of product design, promotional art and murals by the Humboldt Field Research Institute, the Southeastern Flower Show and the Fulton County Arts Commission. Christy has exhibited and sold her work nationally in juried shows and galleries, and her meticulous yet lively botanical illustrations are in the collections of many private patrons. Christy enjoyed running a popular neighborhood Fine Art School for a baker's dozen of years. An Art Program Partner and fully trained Environmental Educator at Blue Heron Nature Preserve from 2015 to 2021, she is now excited to be teaching Adult Art classes at Chastain Arts Center as well as workshops in ornithological drawing for Georgia Audubon. Christy also continues to enjoy weekly private lessons with her talented students. (Pen & Ink Portrait of the Art Teacher by Mary Woody.) She is a proud member of the Environmental Education Alliance where she actively participates in the Greensleeves Book Club.
