Christie Baker is a self-taught Canadian painter whose work explores memory, material, and the quiet significance of everyday objects. Influenced by vintage interiors, aged textiles, wildflowers, and botanicals, her paintings reflect a deep appreciation for the handmade and the emotional resonance of the things we choose to keep.

Born in Edmonton and raised in Calgary, Ottawa, and Toronto, Christie spent twenty years in Vancouver raising her family before returning to Toronto in 2019. She began painting in her 50s during the uncertainty of the pandemic, discovering a deeply personal, intuitive form of expression in the process. A published writer of creative non-fiction with a professional background in beauty and fashion, she brings a strong sense of narrative, and appreciation for aesthetics, to her art.

Christie works from her home studio in Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood, where she lives with her husband, Matt, and their cat, Giorgio. She began exhibiting her work in 2022, and her work is now held in private and corporate collections across North America. Christie serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the Artists’ Network, as in an active member of many arts organizations in throughout Canada.
