Nancy Baker was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and receieved a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
She hates reading and writing these kind of statements, so she will keep this short.
She currently lives in Raleigh, NC where she maintains a studio known as The Tireshop.
A world traveler, she posits this as the major source of her emotional well being. Her mother still lives in Brooklyn, and so she still has her de facto NY papers.
Nancy maintains an artblog calles Tireshop, and is a team member on Anonymous Female Artist. Her moniker is Rebel Belle.
She is represented in NYC by Winkleman Gallery. She has received many fellowships and awards, and missed a few that she thought she owned.
Her current goal is to maintain humility and a keen sense of the absurd, despite living on a planet that is becoming increasingly humorless, jejune and fanatical.
She believes that solipsism is the best strategy for survival.
