Mitch Baker Fine Art

Explore the art of fine drawing and historic 19th-century photography.


In 2020 I had brain surgery and it changed my life.

For years, I thought living with a seizure disorder was just… normal. Art became my meditation — the only way I could find meaning through the pain and struggle.

My practice spans fine drawing and historic photography, including 19th-century techniques like large format and glass plate photography.

After surgery, which left me paralyzed for a time, I had to relearn nearly everything — and it was then that I truly felt reborn as an artist.
