Hello! My name is Kristen Joy & I am the founder at Kristen Baker Art, an illustration and conceptual fine art design brand. My work typically incorporates gold foil details, neutral tones with bright pops of colour, hand-painted brushwork and clean hand and vector line drawings. You can find my work in retail stores like Crown & Fox Boutique, online on Etsy, as well as on partnered sites like Redbubble & Society6. I also offer an extensive portfolio of artwork that is available for licensing.

Thanks to my array of licensing partners, you can find my illustrations sold worldwide on art prints, home decor items, tech accessories, apparel, and more. I partner with a variety of brands that transform my paintings into best-selling products.

ARTIST STATMENT
|
The artwork I create is inspired by my travels around the world, the places I live and the simple beauty in everyday things. I live as an independent artist and hop around Canada moving and traveling every few years, building my portfolio as I go. I am passionate about art, empowerment, and entrepreneurship, and I explore the everyday experiences, places and things in search of creative inspiration for new projects and experiences to uplevel my personal and professional life.
I run my entire business while on the move, managing all of my creative entrepreneurial work remotely. My “office” changes daily, usually a sunny patio, painting studio, or airport terminal somewhere in the world. My artwork is directly inspired from the magic in the everyday mundane and I build my art portfolio right along with the list of unique experiences that infuse my pieces with their signature style. My artwork reflects the unique vibes and surroundings of how I perceive the people and places I visit. You will find gold leafing in almost all of my work as I believe that in all things there is beauty in both the light, the darkness and everything in-between. I illustrate in a variety of mediums, but my two most popular styles are my watercolor and mixed media paintings and hand and digital illustrations. |

- Lisa Stewart, BrandLeap Marketing | Quails' Gate Winery, Kelowna, BC I had the pleasure of working with Kristen Joy Baker as the Executive Director of Ballet Kelowna in 2012 and 2013. Kristen made the otherwise very stressful process of developing marketing materials a breeze. Her love of the arts and her charming and agreeable disposition made her a great fit for Ballet Kelowna. Kristen's flexibility and ability to work on exceptionally tight deadlines made my life much, much easier. She always developed several drafts and collaborated well with all the players on our team to create materials that reflected both the company's brand and offerings. Ballet Kelowna's subscription base has more than doubled over the last two seasons since Kristen started designing the subscription brochure. I'm sure the quality of her work has played a role in that success and I would recommend her without hesitation!
