Through a mixed media practice combining artificial and natural materials, Teresa Baker creates abstracted landscapes that explore vast space, and how we move, see, and explore within them. The materials, texture, shapes, and color relationships are guided by Baker's Mandan/Hidatsa culture to explore how identity can relate to innate objects. 

Baker received a BA from Fordham University in 2008 and an MFA from California College of the Arts in 2013. She has had recent solo exhibitions at Broadway Gallery, New York, NY; The Arts Club of Chicago, IL; de boer, Los Angeles, CA; The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, AZ; Halsey McKay, East Hampton, NY; and Pied-à-terre, San Francisco, CA. She has participated in group exhibitions hosted by institutions including the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Nerman Museum, Overland Park, KS; Ballroom Marfa, TX; and Marin MOCA, CA. Baker is a 2022 Joan Mitchell Fellow, and was an artist-in-residence at Fogo Island Arts in Newfoundland in 2022. She was the 2020 Native American fellow at the Ucross Foundation in Ucross, WY, and was a Tournesol Award artist-in-residence at Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, CA.
